Turbos just don't really increase the fuel economy of gas engines. On a gas engine the turbo and throttle fight each other constantly, any gains are lost there.

That's interesting. IDK much about diesel turbo setups aside from having a bunch of F250/350's that I didn't do any work or mods on. I put fuel in them, took them in for their services and drove them to death.
Oh wait, I did have an alternator go out on one once that I pulled over and changed in a Ford dealers parking lot. So I guess I have been under the hood of one.
