Don't think that there would be many that would argue that a turbo is the most eficient of the 3 types of forced induction. But a good ? is what turbo setup is most efficient?

I have always found the tailpipe turbo STS style is the best route for effiencey and installation No need for a intercooler when it is where the muffler is located. It keeps engine temps down and cools the charge in the longer travel distance back to the intake. I know someone with this setup but he is tuned for power not mpg
