26977, Gas milage with turbo?
Posted by chachi, Jul-21-02 08:04 AM
I was wondering what kind of effect a turbo has on your gas milage? I'm guessing it wouldn't be good, but I suppose if you kept rpms below boost levels you might not see to much difference.

yeah stay off the boost and you'll run about the same as stock, but hit boost and bye bye gas milage.

Actually I see better gas mialage, if I dont floor it that is.
When I installed my CAI it dropped, I was getting around 280, with the muff it went up one or 2 miles. Now with the turbo , if i dont floor it all the time i get 300 or above. I run very rich , and on long trips i do average around 250 by 1/2 a tank.
