when in boost, gas mileage will be worse. if you stay out of boost and have proper fuel management, you fuel mileage should be like stock. Turbo charging a car will not increase gas mileage in anyway.

As for you dillemma, it all depends on your personal preference. From my experience, once you have driven a forced induction car, N/A doesn't do sheit for you anymore(in terms of power). The power just doesn't compare. Therefore I would either go with a turbo civic or talon. Both will cost you and will require more care/mantainese then N/a however the fun factor is great!

If its a talon....make sure you purchase a awd! and as for a turbo civic...you need fuel management added on to your list.

I say all motor as well. The turbo will eventually hurt your engine like some people were telling me in another thread, and the eagle is already worn down from the turbo. All motor would be my route.

well go with the turbo..... a stock d16 is under $500 so boost the crap out of it.... then if it blows, put the parts that are still good on a new d16....

Or you could always buy a 1g Talon. Or if you wanted a 2g Talon buy one of those. Then put a 6 bolt motor into it, then you will not have crankwalk. Chances would be very low.
