Not really but I'll give you a general answer.

Turbo + no boost (cursing) = better mileage
Turbo + boost = mileage down!!!

as the same with any kind of boost, it takes more fuel and air to make more power, thus using more fuel causing your mileage to go down

Bryan57 · December 14th, 2007, 08:45 AM

thats what sucks tho, more power makes you get less gas

... but sstill more power

if you are going to spend a few thousand bucks on a turbo or s/c.....why would mpg be a concern. Figure out how to get the money for a extra power. if mpg is a concern get a hybrid or an electric scooter

. Between all my bolt ons and my gears....i dont even wanna know what my mpg will drop to when i get a s/c.
