Shifting with a Turbo
My MX-6 is a 2.2L Turbo. I have been working on my hypermiling technique, and have been taking it very easy. I have been shifting at low rpms and using fifth gear in city driving. One thing I have noticed as i am never really boosting. Doesn't a turbo aid in economy? Do i need to shift at higher rpms in order to get the benefit of the turbo? Not sure how many other eco-drivers here have turbos, but maybe someone with a turbo-diesel has observed ideal shift points?
