No mate I think you are clutching at straws.

You will only use more if the map requests it. If it was only fitted 2 days ago and your mpg has suffered since then that sounds like they have fooked it up.  :happy2:

im changing the remap and getting it dynoed on saturday, so that might show if the pump is right or not. i watched the guy fit it and it seemed to go fine. it would be  nice to be sure its all working ok.

2.0t oil does smell petrolly. Unless your oil level is increasing there is nothing to worry about.
