Will i get similar mpg providing i keep my driving habits the same as now?

I've had every tune under the sun. If you want as close to factory running I suggest Delicious tuning. His tune felt the most "factory" if that's what your asking. That said I've switched to Moto East.

As far as MPG I get 22-24 city, and I only drive in the city.

Are you doing e-tunes via the internet?

@Derka, I highly recommend moto-mike my car runs perfect and I get 26mpg combined and 30-32 on the freeway for long trips with out cruise control. That being said I used to get 35-40 for freeway driving and 32-34 for city.

This is with a full header back. No fuel mods yet.

Junior tuned my buddie's FR-S when he was in town at Boost Logic and did a pretty good job. But yes, there are not many dedicated tuners to our platform in Texas at all. I have someone in PHX e-tune mine and I send him several logs. I'm on like my 30th ROM file now, lol. About to be several more for the Grimmspeed intake.

Speaking of TX, do yourself a favor and don't use Dynotronics.

Ever since I saw a post about them ruining an engine, they disappeared.

JMS Racing is the only place I have heard of tuning people in San Antonio on FI. At this point I think I'd trust Delicious Tuning\Moto East remote tunes with a few updates over some of the dyno tuners in Texas. Street tunes can still be very solid.

I agree Mike @moto-mike is a good guy and a good member of the 86 community.

Well I just ordered a kit. I'm thinking maybe a AOS to compliment the setup.

I used a universal mishimoto catch can, works perfect. A universal can is the way to go since they are cheap. If you're going to spend AOS money might as well get a radium can.

In mishimoto the difference between universal and FRS is FRS tax.

Yes but in the install manual they say :

''We recommend one step colder spark plugs when running our supercharger system.Talk to your Kraftwerks representative about our line of NGK Iridium spark plugs.''

If I remember correctly, there is a ''dip'' at high rpm like almost 7 thousand with the stock plug.

Like the third dyno in the first page :
''This one is Stock BRZ vs. Supercharged BRZ (90mm pulley) with the forthcoming Skunk2 Headers and Exhaust and fueled with E85. This shows a gain of 180.8HP and 119.4TQ.''
