Keep us informed on your thread. I'm going to start my own when I get further along and we can compare notes . After all, if we don't do it then no one will.
Indeed. It may take some time but we'll start to see many more options out there. once i get something concrete.. i'll start a new thread.

I do have to agree with this, Besides my old 1992 buick century custom.. this is the only car ive had that didnt have a turbo on it. I always saw a boost in fuel economy, paired with conservative driving. keep the pedal mashed and yeah i see you losing a few mpg's haha. But yeah, overall turbos make the car run more efficiently and when used conservatively, provides a decent boost in fuel economy as well.
