Better mpg with turbos?

I was wondering if this was true. They say that it will help out the mpg...but that means you would have to keep your foot out of it

For you guys who got the turbo setup, what is your average mpg?

I remember reading this as well. You are correct though about having to stay out of boost to see this mpg increase effect. Boost sucks down fuel

VE or volumectric efficiency goes way up with a turbo car.. But yeah, you have to keep your foot out of it.
