Plans for now are a Stg1 tune and possibly install the stereo from the Focus. Kicking the snot out of it yesterday netted 29 MPG.

It has the aux jack in the glovebox, but I need to have the dealer take a look, it's not working. Either way I'll probably keep it just in case, though.

That's the easy way to get a turbo. 29mpg is really good. I can only get 30 out of my 05 Focus and that's on the interstate.

Must you tempt me? Either way, staying mostly stock until the warranty runs out.
