Plus, how much did he spend on that car, just on parts? Turbo, tune, exhaust, engine, all of the nuts and bolts...$3,000? $4,000? The payback is a really long time, like 250,000 miles for $3,000. Yes, you get a turbo car and the fun that goes with it, but most people aren't going to spend $3,000 for 64 mpg, when that car was probably getting 45-50 mpg stock.
