Default Turbo Gas Milage

What kind of gas milage are the turbo IS300s getting? I got my turbo in and mine went to hell. I don't know if it's supposed to be that way, but I'm getting like 10-14 mpg probably. I should know more once I get a couple more tanks under my belt. Thanks.

well a few questions about your turbo kit before we can fully answer your questions..

are you running a 255 l/ph fuel pump? what size injectors are you using? that is the better question and may spell out why you fuel mileage is down. Myself I have great gas milage when I am not ropming on the gas pedal to race ppl. Under normal driving conditions I prolly get 17-22 city and 22-23 highway on avg. but the way I drive that usually does not happen. Under heavy driving I avg 14-15 mpg.

I think my gas milage would really suck for the first couple of months.
Until I would get "tired" or rather "adjusted" to having boost
