Motor is only running around 10psi boost,small intercooler, is a manual, car weighs around 1100kg's. 
This is driving sensibly, and not boosting it too much.

That sounds like awful fuel economy mate...  I would have thought that you would have a 3.4/3.7 diff as well so the revs shouldn't be that high when not accelerating, hence OK economy. 
 
Do you have the ability to pull the diagnostic codes out of it (do a search if you are not sure how to do it).  It will tell you if it thinks the O2 sensor (and other things) are suspect. 
 
Running a thermostat etc?
