You’ll then need to find an oil pressure line to feed the turbo or turbos and to route the turbo output through an intercooler, if you choose to install one. Install a sealed carburetor modified for blow-through turbo use.
Do you get better fuel economy with a turbo?
On bulk, turbocharged vehicles do live up to their fuel-economy labels. And they don’t suffer in the real world any more than naturally aspirated vehicles. That said, there are hundreds of cars, turbocharged and not, that exceed or fall short of the official fuel-economy numbers—some by 20 percent.
What’s the best way to fuel while riding a bike?

What happens to fuel pressure when a car is in boost?
When a supercharged or turbocharged vehicle is in boost, the pressure inside the manifold is trying to push fuel back into injector, resisting the flow and decreases the effective fuel pressure below that of the rail. This concept is important because it changes how the fuel system needs to be set up in the PCM.

The turbo itself doesn’t save gas, but using the smaller engine does. Turbos are often used together with direct injection. Direct injection shoots computer-controlled squirts of fuel into the combustion chamber inside the engine cylinders. The high pressure and precise control produce more thorough burning.
How does turbocharging help the car go fast?
Turbocharging is rapidly growing, from a niche feature designed to make cars go fast, to a mainstream technology for saving fuel. That’s because turbocharging allows an automaker to substitute a smaller, more fuel-efficient engine for a bigger engine, without sacrificing power.
