I am seriously considering supercharging the 6 but it my daily driver I use it every other week for work which is 20 miles a day how bad are they on fuel compared to bodies I am just consered about it becoming unpractical and unreliable.

Not bad on fuel, just like standard unless you boot it everywhere. Mines high boost and its my daily.Don't know what bodies would be like but I imagine it's the same. |

Better on a run that a standard 6. Not terrible if you drive it sensibly but if you boot it I've got 20miles to 1/4 tank of fuel  ________________________________________ Black power baby!

Give it 6 months. You'll either end up thinking you need to spend the extra to go high boost to get your money's worth (in for a penny - in for a pound) or you'll sell it.________________________________________  |

I drove a high boost as a daily and it was great but sadly I be broke mine as it had too many issues! I would say As a daily would be fine for a fast and fun drive, economy wise think 20mpg and less if including some 8k plus driving  . For the extra reliability a forged engine gives I'd say go for it, though I'd say Lsd and decent brakes and suspension are a must! 165+ mph is easily on the cards. ________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

I live amongst country lanes and I do have a lead foot, if you drove the highboost sensibly I would actually say 30mpg would be possible as you can just pop it in sixth and never change ________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |
