That'd seem to equate to a more efficient engine, wouldn't it?

I have to agree with this. Especialy reading the article about the Turbo cars being more efficient than their NA counterparts, A turbo is run soley off of the exhaust So all it does is make FREE power , By free i mean it doesn't drain anything from the motor, Like a supercharger does.
It's a highly plausibe way to add Fuel economy to your car
I say go for it
