it might have already been posted but i looked lol is there any benefits for throwing a cheap 7 or 8 psi turbo on the k8 so i can get better gas mileage or maybe longer life of the k8 and plus i love the sound of blow off valves (im not looking for power its the wifes car)

WHAT? you want a turbo kit to save on gas?

buy a civic...

It's not a diesel...

When you put in MORE AIR (from a turbo), you need to add the same radio of fuel, thus pump in MORE FUEL.

Not sure about you, but typically, when you have to dump more fuel into a motor, your not using less.

There are a ton of BP-Ts running 25-35mpg. Its all about the tune.

Dont know about V6s though.. =]

No no, that's not the point. We're not saying you can't get good milleage with a turbo'd motor. Basically he wants to ADD a turbo to get BETTER milleage than he's already getting...

he could technically get better power to fuel ratio with a turbo... but not absolute milage.

wow.. this is stupid. Like short bus stupid.

Like a dually Mx-3, lol

Actully got 2mpg improvement when I boosted my bp BUT you have to run premium fuel so it didn't save anything

your 2mpg improvement was probably just from tuning the car...

thanks alot for the helpful and smart a$$ comments lol but yeah i just thought i would add it and get better mileage and the sound of the sexy bov and maybe dust of some people at stop lights here and there but i guess not i guess ill go ze

are you looking for performance or mpg?

just mpg but i didnt think about me needing more fuel to run the turbo lol

in what world do you think a 2.5l engine that is essentially the same as a 1.8l (give or take) only bigger use less fuel. i think you have the whole engineering idea backwards. you want better mileage? swap in a 1.6l i4 from the 92 rs, or buy a civic...
