I think a better question is waht kinda MPG people are getting.

I added around 6 MPG with the trick kit.... IF and only IF you can keep your foot outta it, which is hard.

in theory turbos do better, but in reality, i believe they end up being equally lower... of course depending on driving habits

Everything comes in to play for MPG. If you want good MPG, then you need to keep a simple setup. The more you want, the less MPG you get.

Agree on the rest of the setup and your right foot determining the MPG. I have both. Either can be effecient and either can drink petro at an alarming rate. If you're worried that much about MPG, I've heard mopeds rock.

I think the turbo will do better than the Radix type blower with a bypass. The bypass is open when you are cruising, the blower doesn't assist any air into the engine. The turbo always gives some sort of assistance once it gets loaded even a little bit. You don't have to be in boost for the turbo to move air. The blower needs to close the bypass valve before it starts to move air.
