This thread is the proof you dont. Again, denial wont help.

This is not a turbo motor. It is an NA motor converted to turbo, which is a hell lot different.

I've heard people claiming to be coming from mars, or various other places in the galaxy. Internet is full of lies, so unless you personnally know the people posting, it is better to assume they cant be trusted, even more when they claim things that sound too good to be true.
Which is exactly what is happening here; you want it to be true. You want people to tell that you can get more power and less / same mileage.
Well they did it. The problem is that it is not true, simple as that. The head is not designed for boost, which means lower efficiency, the cams are not designed for boost either, which means lower efficiency, and you need to lower compression ratio, which means lower efficiency.
Even if you make "the perfect tune", the engine will have lower efficiency, and thus more fuel consumption.

And i am saying it is. Actually, every book you can read about turbo engines, or turbo conversion, says it is.
But you dont want to hear that, so that is the end of my contribution to your thread. I know you will be thinking "good riddance" once you read this, but i can tell you something : if you ever post again on this BBS asking why your engine does not work / blew / is fuel hungry, expect to see me posting "i told you, but you didnt want to read that".
