So I got a new job a couple weeks ago. Got my first check yesterday and I am going to be able to save up for it quick so i'm wondering would a 3sgte swap still be decent on gas? I'll be driving an average of 35 miles a day but want something more fun to drive.

I daily drive my 3SGTE and average around 20 MPG with my boost set to around 10 PSI (.75 bar). It's 30 miles each way with about 4 miles of lights and the rest freeway. If I turn the boost up to 14 PSI (1 bar), my mileage drops to the 12 to 15 range for the same commute. The car is AWD though, so there may be some gains on mileage from running FWD. As far as downtime... It's been in the shop for a week waiting on a water pump. The last extended downtime was for a clutch and those bastards took 5 months (extenuating circumstances, but still), lesson learned, I'll use the dealership from now on.
