how does your turbo do with gas mileage?
i was wondering how far do your turbo setup go with a full tank of gas...or miles per gallon...and would you recommend turbo for a daily driver?

on my fully built y8 turbo.....
it takes me 190 miles to get from my moms house in walnut creek , down to my navy base past fresno......and if i fill up in walnut creek it takes me a little less than a quarter tank to get there.

220? Obviously you don't boost a lot when you beat on it, because mine gets about 150-200 when I floor it a lot (like all the time). But that's pretty much what it was NA. Same goes for if I take it slowly, about 300-350 a tank.

on the highway I can drive all day long, about 280 on a tank full.
In the city it is unreal. I have used up 1/4 tank in 1/2 hour! the rx-7 injectors dump in a ton of fuel when I boost, but I havent fine tuned it on the wideband so Im super rich.

My EF with the utterly repulsive combo of B16 motor and LS trans will nail down about 25 MPG on the highway if I don't boost. Considering how depressingly long the LS trans gears are, that doesn't happen much.

About the same here. Made it from San Diego to Primm, Nevada on a little more than 3/4 of a tank.

12liter/100km - which makes it about 20mpg
Same in city/open road... in city I drive a bit 'faster' (hitting boost all the time), and on open road about the same (most of time over 100mph).... driving usually rather fast. Lowest I got it on open road was 9.5lit/100k (~28mpg) but this was also rather faster that rest of traffic... I just can't bring myself to drive slow

Re: how does your turbo do with gas mileage? (97hb)
I usually don't let the tank get lower than ~3/4 empty, but I get 32 mpg city, ~40 mpg highway, and the ocassional ~28 mpg driving like an idiot.
set up (b20/ ls trans, @ 10 psi, hack)

I know it sounds like BS, but I'm a really conservative driver ( I rarely ever give it more than ~15% throttle ). What I'm getting now is the same as when I was NA.
I used to get a little better when I had the stock d16z6.

Re: how does your turbo do with gas mileage? (squirrel)
it's not the turbo itself that gives you bad gas mileage..it's you wanting to hear the bov nice and loud every time you shift

Because, ever try getting up a hill with a low power NA motor? You have to ride the throttle longer to make it up the hill. When you have more power, you will not have to give it as much throttle to make it up to speed.
