hey 3geez, whats going on? i was thinking about fuel economy and i was wondering what would the effects of a small turbo be on my fuel economy i think this would be my best bet to increase fuel ecomomy and still have the option to boost performance later with a bov change. thanks for the input unless it's flaming then

[ZackieDarko]

here is a list of things that will affect your fuel economy that you can tinker with

1.> Cold Air Intake
2.> Full Exhaust
3.> Tire Pressure
4.> Camber/Toe
5.> FULL Tune Up (plugs, oil etc)
6.> Run some Seafoam thru the engine it will clean it out

all those things affect how much gas you are gonna use per mile

i have changed all of those things i have done the tune ups and stuff, but what i'm talking about is would the hot pressurezed air help my fuel ecomomy

Dude, turbo is the opposite of fuel economy. Ever hear of fuelslut.com? The point of adding more air is to be able to add more fuel to yeild higher performance.

If you just dump more air without richening your A/F mixture, you will kill your motor due to pre-ignition. There are things that could help improve your engine efficiency and make your engine a bit more economical -- like a full tune up and upgraded ignition system, but if you are after fuel economy do NOT think that a turbo will help. Just do the tuneup. Please search before asking these type of questions, because you are just asking to be flamed.
