What ARE you using for fuel?

I drive 110 miles a day on D2 mostly and sometimes B99. Its 80mi at 75-80mph and 30 mi at 5-15mph. I get 30-31mpg consistently on D2 and 27ish on B99. I don't get on it too much unless I need to smoke out a tail gaiter. My turbo does come on a LOT more burning B99 compared to D2 even during normal acceleration.

My guess is you are enamored with your turbo in city driving, are doing a lot more slow and go than I do, and are using a fuel type that provides less energy than what the fuel system was designed for.......you could always put it back to stock and see what happens.
