Feul efficienct Turbo's any suggestions ?

Looking for suggestions on a fuel efficient turbo set up. any other thoughts on fuel effiency after market products ?

Curenntly I get 18 to 21 taking it easy on the peddle, with my 2002 2500 no after market upgrades, unloaded.
My daily commute is about 100 to 150 miles a day,fuel prices are 2.85 in Twin Cities MN area.

well you might look into a smarty. its got a 'fuel saver' mode. Supposed to be good on fuel. i have a smarty, but never tried that level. i dont think that you will notice anything (fuel wise) with a different turbo. but 21 or 22 is about the best your going to get out of a truck like this i would think. just my opinion

and welcome to DTR! good to have you with us

I agree. Your not going to get a whole lot better out of it. You might get another 1mpg with the smarty but it would take a while to pay off the cost.
