I clicked on the link at the Lht site. The first guy to do this used a turbo charger from a chevy turbo sprint which was a geo. He was running 8psi intercooled with a 4th injector in the intercooler piping. And averaging 58mpg.

I dont believe he's getting better gas mileage than before. Huge exhaust restriction and FMU.

Thanks for the props guys.
The owner of the Insight is on Insight Central and still reports an increase in Gas milage. For those that haven't driven a stick shift insight , You have beat them to stay with traffic to get upto 50 mph which is were you sacrifice the gas mileage. Once your upto speed they run very well.
I bought one for my wife when they came out, but driven in the city everyday it became a PITA . After driven the turbo one we built, I would so have another.

Also, The insight ran a 16.2 ET 1/4 at 4 lbs, Which is about what the 89-91 CRX-si ran stock.
