how much does a turbo effect gas mileage?

Jw because us ls1ers already have bad gas mileage

None. Of course it beats it up like an other power adder when it is engaged and under boost conditions.

Think of a turbo as NOS without a bottle. As long as you keep the NOS bottle close or not inject, the car is stock and gets stock mileage. Same thing with a turbo, no effect at all until you are inboost.

This is covered in the FAQs i posted. Every car is affected a bit differently ... a couple friends of mine noticed a slight drop in cruising mpg, and still other people, like E up there, don't lose mileage at all.

cool thanks for the replies

yea like he said. as long as you keep your rpms down and keep it from boosting it should be close to normal but as soon as you start romping on it youll see the gas go

The best mileage before was about 27.5; after, I got 29.7. This is all highway, but with the turbo, it was better.
