I totally agree with you.

A turbo is more fuel efficient providing the car is not being drivin. However, if you do decide to go for a drive then, yes I would expect the car to consume more fuel and when you get f/i it will consume even more fuel. I'm pretty sure about this in my sence it makes sence in more sence than I can express in a sence if you understand what I mean????

I have decided to use a dictionary as you have sugested in the past and I have found a definition for the term 'sparky'.
Sparky is often used as a slang term for a radio operator, mechanic, or electrician however it may also reflect a particularly clever person, or a sparkling personality.

I think when put into context we are implying that you are a particularly clever individual, with a sparkling personality. :D

No its to try and get more out of the car. I know its not legal, but im prepared to take the risk. Im just starting to get bored of the acceloration side of things. Why does anyone install a turbo on a street car?

So wun you going to argue with the theory that a turbo only spools as hard as the car is being dríven. So if you are just crusing, the turbo will be creating boost as it would when you have your foot flat to the floor in second gear?

No... the prince of liteness is his evil twin

Sparky,
depends if you are cruising in 2nd gear with your foot flat to the floor. I personally found 2nd gear to be over way too quick in my turbo 5. It would load up a lot better in 3rd and up and you would get the full benefit of 15psi. It was also less likely to spin the wheels so you could hold it at WOT rather than feathering it, thus limiting boost, to maintain traction.
Still I think a well tuned n/a MX5 would probably be a bit more economical. Hard to say as I never really cruised for a whole tank except for the occasional freeway trip. On average I was lucky to get >200kms out of a tank and about 100 - 120kms on the track

I'm unsure because initially I thought I was the price of liteness, however I have been told otherwise, I now belive I am the eunuch of liteness.

I was following your sugestion and was flipping though the dictionary to confirm spelling of the word 'Geelong' but I simply could not find it???

Ohhhh wait I am wrong; the definition I have given you for the term 'sparky' is incorrect.

I initially thought it was a complement however, I have been mistaken please disregard that last post.

Ryan,
Your fetish for young Korean boys singing Mariah Carey songs is deeply disturbing.
I suggest you get some help.
