I've never EVER seen a MPG difference of any of the cars I've built on similar tunes stock vs forged. In fact I've gotten better fuel mileage on most setups with going to a forged piston simply due to the fact of better ring seal. Curious as to why you see such a difference.

Either way nice setup. Nice and clean, just like my car

You want the return as low as you can possibly put it, but higher than the oil level. Not doing this causes frothing/foam. Minimal to you, but bad on many ends. Being a track based owner, I can assure you that frothy oil on a long turn causes issues.

A slightly bigger turbo may help.. T25 spools almost instantly on KA24.

Turbo size isn't indicative of good/poor fuel economy, condition of engine and tune are. If anything the car should see better fuel mileage with a smaller turbo due to increased torque and lack of fuel/throttle needed to accelerate.
