Does that turbo charger make it drink gas ? Or can you make it so it gets better gas mileage than stock ?

And no, a turbo will not give you better gas mileage than stock. However, when not under boost, your gas mileage should be about the same as stock.
Thanks. I never had a bike with a charger nor do i know anything about them I havent seen a place to get them for the raider . Didnt you fab yours up ?

I agree with you that it should use more gas.

I agree with you that it should use more gas.I don't know how the Ford EcoBoost system works. I'm sure it uses variable timming, and a lot of other wazoo stuff. My use of turbos and superchargers, are for performance gains. For me, gass mileage isn't a consideration. However, with the Raider's small fuel tank, maybe it should be. At the moment, I'm only getting 100 mi., before the reserve light comes on.
I want mine to be most efficient i can make it gettin as much gas mileage as possible . Just wait till its at 15 bucks a gallon .
