Same thing with me...

Where did you find this? My manual for my 2012 says that the weight is 4,237 pounds, which seems absolutely bonkers. Is the GVWR the maximum weight the car can be? If so, where can I find the curb weight in the manual (not second-guessing you, just curious).

This is all for second gen
Like everyone, I'll jump on the band wagon of mpt/mpg... My first gen calculates 26.2mpg, in 15.9 gallons would come in at about 417mpt.. I'm lucky to see 280-300.
I'm trying to find stock boost specs, compression, ignition timing, etc... Any idea where I could find these?

Stock boost will vary due to the nature of the tune (load based vs boost based)

But peak should be about 15.6~.

I can post a screen shot of the stock boost table in atr if you care about the rest of the curve.

Thank you
And yes, it would be much appreciated I'm wanting to start delving into mild tuning, and while people have great ideas, no one I know has had an Ms3... So they're just shooting in the dark, making assumptions based on what they've found similar cars can handle... Seeing how there's no stock boost gauge, it certainly helps to have guidance from those who already know

For the love of god do not take their advice.

This is a very particular platform and is not easy to tune unless you are very familiar with how it works.

Any questions that you have can probably be answered by reading past threads. And if not then pretty much ALL of the gurus of this platform are on this forum. Basically If there is anything worth doing/knowing about these cars msf has done it, knows about it, will find it out or will do it.

You should also look into acquiring the services of one of our many e-tuners if you are serious about your car preforming its best.


EDIT:

Heres the stock boost table

[Prediluted]

Jumping ont the MPG band wagon, I typically get 25 around town and 28-32 highway.
The 25 around town is putting it in 6th at 40 on flat/downhill to maintain speed. Any uphill is 4th or 5th tops. I live in a farely rural area however, so stop/go traffic is not too bad.
I would say getting around 350-400 a tank is very achievable, just not if you drive this thing the way it is meant to be driven

Keep in mind 15.9 is the full tank, Our reserve is something ridiculous like 2 gallons.

even on an empty tank, I've never put more than 14 Gal at once in my car.
Once I ran out of fuel on the highway completely, and filled it with 15.x gallons.

I average 300ish miles per tank too. Sometimes I get 320, if I drive like an asshole, 280s
