So far with out trying I am getting near 19 on the day to day drive with the turbo and I am driving 5 to 10 mph faster now that I have more power in over drive to overcome the cross winds.
That is pretty good!

I recall my 81 Rabbit had a cap missing off of one injector return line when I bought it. Actually, the salesman had put a piece of vacuum tube on it, which didn't work. Bought a new cap and gained 4 mpg immediately!
