Ok I guess my car is normal, its just a gas hog. I've heard a lot about letting this kind of car warm up. I'll try cutting it down. As far as the turbo timer I sometimes put it at 2:30 if I was on a short drive in town. On longer drives or after highway driving I set it for 5 minutes. I also was told to set my timer longer. This person drives some boosted old Camaro. Thanks for all the input. I'm still new to the rotery and turbo world. I bought my 7 this past June. I upgraded from a slightly modded Integra. So I'm still learning and will still have more questions. Thanks.



set it shorter, turbo timers are for cars without water cooled turbos, 30seconds is plenty

Weird! Both my 93 & 94 Tourings get 18 city & 24 highway. Must be the thin air?
