just to get it straight.... turbo's do not add gas milage and when they are not in use(under boost) they are a slight restriction in the exhaust...How can u increase mpg's when u are throwing in about 1/3 more fuel @ 5psi then your stock motors supposed to make your afr in the 13-16 range....and no superchargers do not drain 50 hp more like the same drag as a a/c and p/s. I would like to turbo my accent but spending that much money on time.... on a motor that has no safety to turbo's such as low compression 9:1 and lower no oil cooler no oil squirters id rather use my escort gt- it has the bp-ze a 1.8L dohc n/a engine with oil cooler/squirters and a 9:1 ratio thats a good car for a base turbo system. The accent is more complex becuz it has the opposite of power handling in mind.
Not if you BEta swap the accent.
There is a guy on EXD Who had hit almost 400WHP in his I4 tib it's all in the tune. In all honesty if it's the v6.... S/C all the way I've seen some sick SH*T come outta NGM.

This depends on the type of supercharger used, and the pulley ratio its meant to run versus the pressure you want out of it. There's positive displacement types out there as well, and different vane designs(nowadays we see more centrifugal ones too, which are easier to mount up and intercool, which introduces pressure drop yet again translating into a loss) All comes down to the application he wants, as well as the means by which you're giving the thing drive(certain belts have a higher parasitic loss than others thanks to tooth/grove profile as well as the pulley area needed)
