How bad does turbo affect the gas mileage???

guess that might depend on if ya boost or not while turbo'd.. as far as i know you should use about the same amount n/t its when ya push da pedal to da metal.. :-) ive heard that you can accually get better gas milage while turbo'd too if tuned right.. but sorry dont really have any numbers since for one i aint turbo'd... just been around a few turbo'd freaks :-)

I just checked and I got 26 mpg over the past 3000 miles (mixed city/highway). Thats with poorly tuned 440's. Same as it was before the turbo.

I get 300 to a tank. It depends on how you drive. I'm running really rich right now so with a SAFC imagine how much gas you save, and look at the HP gain too! ^_^

I get about 300 on a tank to. I'll be ok. Thanks for the info. I'm hoping to introduce my car to boost by next year.
