Hi,
I have a petrol 2009 Mazda 6 and I'm being advised by a friend to put an induction kit and turbo on it (dump valve as well cos I love them) but I generally only get 18mpg do I'm not really want to go with any changes that will make the fuel consumption any worse... Anyone have any knowledge on this kinda stuff?
Thanks
 
Does your friend have any idea on how to do this? If he is advising you to do it ask him how to :)

Fitting a turbo to a N/A engine isn't a simple bolt on (as far as I am aware) and the power increase will be at the cost of economy as you will be using the extra power.

If you are concerned about fuel consumption then just get it remapped. Celtic tuing, for example, do various maps including one for economy (it still gives a power hike) but even a full power map will improve mpg if driven as before the remap.
 
I think he does, or at least he would have me believe he does I'm just not sure it's gonna be easy cos things are usually difficult to get for that model
