I think of it more like a pregnant roller skate :)

yours would look so wrong lol
Comparing zd30s up at the simmo we were close on par Mark.
When I bought mine NA I was getting 10.8L/100. When I turbo'd it 13psi unintercooled , stock pump 120rwhp it rose to 12.4L/100, next tune same turbo, W2A cooler 12mm pump 207 rwhp it dropped to 11.5L/100. Now with a new turbo same cooler, pump etc it has jumped to 15.4L/100.
I can drop this though, my pump was set up for the old turbo, tune etc, and the new turbo boosts higher at highway speeds. It is over coming the compensator spring so I am almost dumping in full fuel.
If I get a new compensator pin and change the spring, and try and get more travel out of the pin I should be able to grind a new pin profile and regain some fuel efficiency
Was getting 12/100 on 265,s. Just uped the wheels to 285/75's so will see how it goes. Do mainly highway driving
Thanks everyone for your replies, it certainly is making me second guess the original conversion i was going to do.
what do you mean feck there on par with a zd30 there all better than what I get. the reason I got a zd was for fuel economy after talking to a few blokes the best they were getting was 18 to 20 from there 4.2s. all I can say is faaaaaark me dead said forskin ned the old bastard from the bush.
