I've read that the engine itself can handle about 6-8 psi for everyday driving, so in order to not chance the catastrophic engine failure, im looking for a small turbo that will max out at maybe 4-5 psi. will this put me at about 40mpg? because that's what im thinking. and im aware of the inherent cost of a turbo, but im hoping to save that in gas. any suggestions?

Subscribed. Interesting idea. Unfortunately, as I recall, the article that began this thread does not give guidance about the output of the turbos tested.
