I dont know why you keep coming back to torque, if you have read any of my other posts you should be able to infer that I know the physics of how a car is propelled down the road. I live in the flat lands and I can still hit hills that will kick the torque converter out of lockup on a automatic equiped ride on the highway in most directions of travel. As I said 2 posts up the merits of a turbo largely depend on the power to weight ratio of the car you are starting with and if you live in a hilly region you can use the power. If you look at the diagram in post 60, the shapes are not distorted only enhanced with the turbo, because the shapes are enhanced FE certainly cant go down so what is the problem? If FE goes up in hilly regions and doesnt go down on the flats then it must go up depending on how often you can use the extra power.
Remember most people on this board are driving metros and civics, there not endowed with an overabundance of power where a turbo addition is pointless.
