Second for the 40+ mpg. And I drive mine every day. I don't really see what the difference is, but figured I would chime in

If you use a turbo around the same size as the LNF, it's probably going to be like DDing a LNF. Now if you built up a 600HP Cobalt, probably not the best DD.

not quite, we have a tad higher compression so it spools a bit faster than an LNF lol i have logs where before i hit 50% ETC my boost was at 100%.

i'm using a zzp lnf DP, saab IM, and 79lb injectors with a return style fuel system, could probably get away with 60lbers and a returnstyle if i wanted to since my IDC's are never over 65%

I drove mine for 3 years at over 400whp on the stock motor and never had an issue, just gotta keep up with the maintence involved in an aftermarket turbo setup (ie checking t bolt clamps once every few weeks, and keeping up with oil changes)

you're supposed to change the oil? i though you just added water when it gets low?
