My TT C6Z showed me getting that MPG, but that's because we tricked the computer to make the injectors/maf work right.

I guess I kind of find it hard to believe putting a restriction in the exhaust and intake tubes will increase gas milage by such a high amount. I can see losing gas milage before gaining, but I certainly can't see how someone would truely get 10+ mpg better with a turbo on their car. You'd think they'd throw them on the Prius then.

But who knows. Maybe we should put it on Mythbusters. Does adding a Turbo to an otherwise stock car, improve gas milage?
