[Vwdiesel] Turbo vs. MPG

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

I realize I might be oversimplifying this question, but just for the sake of
argument, let's say my turbo (for whatever reason)
is not providing me with any boost. No smoke or 'punch' because of an overly
lean mixture, or some incorrect adjustment on the aneroid or otherwise
mixture part of the fuel pump.

Will I get better fuel mileage?

I'd sacrifice the "turbo" boost I might see for , let's say. 5-7mpg added
efficiency.

Did I oversimplify that?
