[QUOTE="mc01svt, post: 14758057, member: 32337"] incorrect, turbos increase power density (hp/L) not efficiency. Simply adding an exhaust driven compressor to a 4 cycle engine does not increase the thermodynamic efficiency and does not inherently reduce its fuel consumption at a given power level. A high compression NA engine will always have a better BSFC (lb/hp-hr) than a similarly equipped turbo engine. This is a scientific fact and has been well documented. :read: The only "advantage" as far as mpg with turbo is the fact that you can downsize the engine and only sip fuel during light loads. The fallacy in that theory is in the average driving cycle the engine spends alot of time accelerating or under some variable loading condition (hills, wind, rolling resistance, passing). [/QUOTE]
