mileage turbo vs stock

[nyberg_]

As above, what kind of mileage are you getting from your turbos compared to when you were running stock engine?

 

[Dogmeat]

Depends on riding style and how much pow there is

under "normal" circumstances they aren't a whole lot worse than stock...... but if there is pow, you're gonna be into the throttle a lot more .... And then all bets are off.

It takes fuel to make power. Theoretically 15lbs doubles an engines output, which doubles its fuel needs. Some people argue that if you're not spooled all the time it's similar fuel economy. To them I would say why have a turbo.

I'd say I use 50% more. If stock uses 8, I'll be pushing empty. When riding w/ stock sleds, I don't really use all that much more because you can usually go places easier and then watch them struggle. If riding w/ more boosted sleds and it becomes a contest, the fuel guage starts dropping rapidly.
