I really value my 29.xx fuel economy, which has been consistant (sometimes over 30) since the arrival of the summer fuel.

Flexibility.
An unboosted SDL is an unbearable dog off the line and at highway speeds IMHO. Get it done, IT IS ESSENTIAL! The turbo takes several seconds to build, and makes you have to plan every move.
Most of the SDL's I've driven, you could put your foot to the floor making a right angle turn in first gear before boost hits. How could you stand it?
Mine(SDL) is boosted and I just got 30.4 mpg on diesel @ 2.229(local MOBIL truck-stop). I admit, however, that I have not seen this kind of mileage for at least a couple of years.
The only way you will burn more is if you are driving just as hard as you were prior to adjustment. And that's impossible. CCW for the ALDA makes your car more efficient in everyway.
What I'm trying to say is ALL 603's are slow until they are tweaked.
