MAX Update No. 28: MPG Heats Up

Reader Contribution by Staff

I’ve been on the road for a couple weeks, laptop by my side, weighing the suggestions about pumping up MAX’s performance (see Update No. 26 and the numerous comments attached to it).

One that especially sparked my interest was the idea of relocating the turbocharger to the back of the car — the commenter explained the idea in detail and it makes sense. The comment, from Glen2Gs, ended with this:

“… The “Still Born” Top Gear USA television program took a VW Rabbit Diesel (AKA The Sipster) and were able to “tweek” it to 84mpg with a 0-60 time of 7 SECONDS!

May be time to send the Kubota … packing.”
