In stock emissions compliant, corner cut, cookie cutter engines the turbo will get lower fuel milage.
To make a turbo gas engine get the best cruise mileage possible you need to make it act like the N/A engine as much as possible.
A turbo gas motor could be made to get better mileage than an N/A engine, but I wouldn't bother.
Another big thing for turbo gas motors is can it use regular gas?
Honda EarthDreams 1.5T can.
