Turbo question
A turbo question for you guys on here, not up to speed because I'm a lowly Sport driver. A pal of mine drives a golf 1.8gti and his turbo kicks in at 2500 revs and its costing him a fortune in petrol. This seems really low and his turbo is kicking in constantly. Can this be adjusted as I thought the Impreza kicked in around 3,500?
Any advice would be appreciated

It looks like he should consider the change indeed - the best would be change of car
And it's not actually really a joke after all.
Anyway, the quickest solution - maybe he should also consider changing the way he treats throttle pedal? Serious again.

Whether your mate's Golf is similarly adjustable is a question you'll probably be better off asking on one of the VW-specific forums.

I could get 30mpg if i tried when i had my Scoob (313/300). What sort of mpg is your mate getting? If it's way below factory figures then there is sommat wrong with the car or your mate can't drive for toffee

although he is getting boost at 2500rpm, his foot is surely planted to the floor for him to feel this, therein lies the problem, stop flooring the throttle will see fuel economy improve.
