Forced Induction and Fuel Economy

[ellenbetty]

So far I have not heard anyone say that a turbo would increase fuel economy with the 1.5 liter motor. But with Ford talking about it's Ecoboost motor producing more power with improved fuel economy, I wonder if a turbo would pay for itself over it's life span. I found a turbo kit for the 1.5 liter motor Toyota Yaris at http://www.turbo-kits.com/yaris_turbo_kits.html. The fuel management system is not included. I have read nothing about any one making a automatic fuel management system. I am one of those who would not like to have to fiddle with manual fuel management syste. Still I wondered how guys into hp react to the cost of the kit and the claim of a 100%+ hp gain.
