I have the A16LET too in the sports tourer body and its an auto as the family car. Given its weight, it is thirsty and feels weighted down on stock tune. I have a stage 1 EDS tune + sports auto transmission tune and a pipercross dry foam panel filter. The stage 1 tune does make a significant difference in performance. Torque comes more immediate, better throttle response, less turbo lag, and pulls strong until 5,500. As for mpg, no difference on normal driving from stock tune, but obviously drinks more as I enjoy giving it more throttle with the tune now. The pipercross gives a slightly louder intake sound, but hardly any performance felt if any.
