based on what ive read here, you wont loose torque from an exhaust. simply because you have a turbo, needing backpressure is then counter productive no?

but you will see improvements with tuner, intake, and exhaust. tuner=brains intake=lungs exhaust= butthole lol. the more air it can move the better it will run.

stock, i got 16-17 mpg highway unloaded. now i get 20+ or - 2 depending on hills and what not. city milage mainly comes down to the driver, drive her real nice and it will get better mpg, get her to shift sooner and keep your rpm's down. but once you get your tune, intake, and exhaust, you will have alot of "fun" so your milage might go down

2000 rpm is supposed to be the sweetspot for milage.



aFe stage II if you can afford it, otherwise go with the DIY intake.
i would call gus at farmboysdiesel for the exhaust, he will get you a smokin deal!
and for tuners, TW or DP. Im running an edge, but i need a TW lol.
