Those with turbo's
Are you guys noticing an improvement in fuel economy? Im just curious as ive seen a post or two about this, and just wondering if its feasible to see a nice jump in fuel economy.

Wouldn't count on it. Seems to be near the same but now it uses a lot more fuel when u get on it

Going off previous turbo vehicles, you should get similar to slightly better MPG's when cruising but your overall will suck.

The thread you saw about the improvement from 20 mpg to 24 was more about the tune I think, not the turbo. His car was probably just over compensating for the increased air flow on his trip to Jannetty, then the tune took it back to normal-ish. So I would agree with Axis.

Many times you can increase fuel economy with turbos, but... probably won't happen due to the weight of your right foot and the ability to smoke the tires...
