Ah true must be. With any turbo kit you will only lose mpg if you have a heavy foot so you can easily control what type of mpg you get. having said that if you are actually worried about mpg then I would not add boost to the car. Will spend a lot more on boost than many years of gas for the car.

Yes the rear diff is an improvement. It has larger end caps on the carrier bearings, so more strength and reinforcement against the first place 90% our diffs fail under stress. I’ve been through two ap1 diffs before I learned my lesson. Haven’t broke an ap2 yet... knock on wood...
