Interesting questions stillsearching, my belief is that hanging a turbo of any kind on an ICE runningat normal mixtures and temperatures, no matter whether the turbo is sized correctly or not will result in a net loss of economy compared to the same nonturbo engine. The one exception is the lean burn engine smokey yunick developed. Can you think of any other configuration besides, the one i mentioned? Talking strictly about gas as i have very little knowledge or experience with diesels.
