I'm seeing about that WITH my turbo spinning and some hard accelerations (maybe 10% of the time). I do drive more highway than city now (at least 16 miles of any trip to town are highway), but I'm surprised you're only seeing that.
I was seeing 17 pure city with traffic and 22 on the highway cruising between 60 and 80.

How did you bypass it? Removed entirely and replaced the manifold? Otherwise, it's still in the exhaust flow causing resistance...?
