Posts: 182 Thanks: 6 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Upgrade 1.4 t-jet It drinks, lots. And for any decent tuning you need to upgrade the turbo on it. This is incorrect. My T-Jet is superb on fuel compared to to what i was driving before. Lowest ive ever managed to get (booting it ALL the time - nice stretch of 30 miles of b/a roads to and from work) i managed to get 320 miles from a tank of normal unleaded. Using Vpower, i manage to get 420 - 470 miles out of a tank. - driving normally, not like a granny :P Standard T-Jet. 3 Months odd old. Yes, its turbo'd, i prefered it to the M-Jet (i just personally prefer to rev a car, tbh, i find the limiter at 6,500 a little rubbish, but hey ho). Build quaility seems ok, a few little niggles ive got to have sorted / had sorted. Seat was clicking when anyone sat on it - sorted, something to do with the cushion. Fog lights steaming up - booked in for replacements. Breaks are squeeling there tits off after 5,000 miles. - booked in to be looked at. Blue&me mic is low - booked in for replacement. Rattle coming from the back - booked in to be looked at. Hope this helps!!
