on low boost with a good tune you can daily of for a long time.

Its tuned for 7 lbs of boost the guy said he gets about 210 hp at the wheels sound right? And how much will this affect my mpg

well MPG wont be great, you'll love the Extra power and spool that baby up. if you drive it normal I'm sure you'll get good numbers..but remember you're ramming air and fuel into the engine with alot of pressure..so dont expect great numbers.

there are plenty of Turbo guys on here, Im sure they know wayy more

There are a lot of factors that come into play to determine the power made on a setup. Exhaust pipe sizing, fuel injectors, fuel octane, boost pressure, port work, intake manifold, tune, ect ect.

It's hard to say how much that exact setup is making, but I don't see it making any less then that. It's probably somewhere in that area. Was it dyno tuned, street tuned, or does it just have a basemap? What motor is all of this on? Does the motor have stock internals? What is the mileage of the motor? Does the turbo have any shaft play or oil leaks?

These are all factors that come into play when you talk reliability.

Your mileage really shouldn't suffer much- especially with low numbers like that. Assuming you're tuned correctly you shouldn't be getting less then 25mpg driving it normally. I've heard of people running 250hp+ still getting 30's on the highway.

just keep it out of boost. and you should get around the same gas mileage. its when the turbo is spooling is when you start losing MPGs because like he said more gas and air.

Small turbo is going to spool earlier. Probably a little hard to keep from boosting it.
And who really stays out of boost when you have a boosted car? :thumbs up

What is VS turbo injectors?

 

[collinc322]

just saying ive boosted a daily driver to 7 pounds twice. dont really recomend it. sometimes ull get lucky but boost is very unreliable. as long as you run everything correctly with a good tune and change ur oil all the time u should be fine. dont miss an oil change tho or ur screwed!!

I had assumed they were just another brand- but after googling it, I question it too lol.
