how much gas do turbos burn?

[911S_TARGA_RSR]

Forget a turbo man; get a 10k stand alone fuel managment system and a couple bottles of NAWS.

Lean = bad

tune the (already) poor engine prior to turboing it.

rich = bad

reed as everyone told you running lean is among the worse things you can do for your engine. and it will not add a litle heat, it will add tremendous amounts of heat.


The combustion chamber temps will skyrocket so high under lean conditions that your pistons will literally melt and fuse with your block, unless you detonate first. These temps are far beyond any cooling systems.

If anything if you're not 100% sure of your A/F ratio always err on the side of rich.

Of course the trick to power as mentioned by duplox is tune tune tune so you can run the best A/F ratio possible.

exactly. Cough up the money to go to a dyno for a few hours and have them dyno tune it for the absolute best performance. Added bonus is you get to see how much power you're actually gettin to the wheels.
