I think you would be more apt to seeing gains from turbos instead of blowers.......The BOV on the blowers are usually open (venting and positive, useful pressure) but turbos do not. The (otherwise wasted) exhaust turns the turbine, PUSHING air into the motor, making it more efficient. We all know more efficiency = better mileage (an 8:1 comression motor will have less mileage than an otherwise identical 10:1 motor).
