As I can see from under your name that's with a Vortech supercharger? If so... On a FR-S/BR-Z... that's a hell of a lot better than what I was expecting.

First gas mileage numbers are in for my Full Blown basemap. 30.2 MPG cruising on the Interstate at 79 mph with some 5th and 6th gear boost pulls.

Weight is a small factor, since you will not add excessive weight to make a difference and as you add a turbo in you gain more power as a turbo get more air that is compressed into that small engineered engine of ours.

You will decrease MPG by a little bit, but not a lot. This will depend of which turbo and tune you will be performing on the car.
