Default turbo guys-gas mileage?

Well I've been thinking of selling my explorer and going with a 4 door car that gets better gas mileage. I've been going through them all accord, altima, maxima, camry, etc. Then I got to thinking about a 4 door integra and possibly going turbo.

Here comes my questions. Now what is gas mileage like for you guys that are running turbos? I already get 20mpg in my FC when I try, so if thats all I can hope for then I might as well go another route. Also, how much does a simple custom t3/t4 turbo setup run approximately? Thanks for any input.

with good tuning 25+mpg is easily obtained with normal everyday driving.

and a normal t3/t4 turbo setup is going to run you about 1500 used or 2500 new

25mpg overall, or highway. I can deal with 25mpg if that means I don't have to TOTALLY baby it, if you know what I mean. I think I may go with a nice 96 or so 4 door teg. The stock motor is what, a B18? Is that good for a nice mid 13s setup, or will it need built up? I'll try to search for some of my questions, but if anyone could enlighten me to hondas rather quickly it would be great. Thanks.

I still get 30 mpg. But then I don't have a/c either.

Lol. Well I'm not looking for a car like yours Ron. Just something "quick" to drive daily with AC and hopefully get around 25mpg all around and close to 30 on the highway.
