I got a lot more than 1-2 MPG when I turboed my 97 Land Cruiser. Went from 212 hp and 13 MPG to 550 hp and 20 MPG.
Edit: added bigger exhaust as well. Motors want to breathe.

No. It didn't.

sorry bro, you ain't getting 338 HP and 7mpg from a turbo and exhaust.
You would need a whole new engine for all that, lower compression, different valves and lifters.
No bolt on turbo is giving you that much. alone (with exhaust)
