i have had reallly bad gas mileage since i installd my 16g and o2 housing. (11 mpgs). the o2 threads were at like an angle so the o2 sensor pressed up against the side of the housing when i screwed it in. i dont have a check engine but would that cause me running rich and have bad mpgs? my exhaust smells bad like its running rich.

thanks
 
no here are my mods:
big 16 g turbo
dejon hard ic piping
injen intake
3" o2 housing
1g bov recirculated

no tuning has been done. i think the mpgs were around 16 before i put on the o2 housing.

so what do you think? Is there any way to test it? Thanks.
 
thanks, i really need to find my boost leaks (i have about 14 vac in drive and 15-17 while in park). For some reason i have been struggling to make a boost leak tester properly, LOL. I'll take another crack at it when this snow melts.
 
You def have something way wrong if you're only getting around 11 mpg, I have a ton done to my car and still daily drive it getting about 22 mpg.
 
yeah, boost leak is first on my list, i'll report back afterwards
