I want low boost at cruise rpms, so around 3 psi @ 1500-2000 rpm. This would increase efficiency as my car is right now, but it will get even better when I go lean, and especially ultra-lean

I'm aiming to run 25:1 AFR. I am hopeful that these along with the extensive aero mods, will push me to over 100 mpg at cruise. Time will tell

Here is the link to TYgen1's thread - Turbocharging for Effciency.
