far from the truth.........the beauty about a turbo is that you can turn up/down the boost..........

lets say that i build my ride into a 350 hp 20 psi ride.........if i went driving to work or the store and wanted to conserve fuel, i might turn down the boost to 5 psi, put 135 horses to the ground and get 30 something mpg
