Default Turbo and SC gas mileage?

I was wondering what you boosted guys are getting for gas mileage? Please list what you have for boost setups? I am getting finaced as we speak for a local RS1 TC and everything should be done by the end of the month. First ting im doing is a turbo either the zpi stage 1 or dezod kit. Zpi is first choice right now because it is local and I could have them install it. I would do it, but I dont know anything about turbos, but coming from a almost 700 hp s10 for a weekend driver im expecting something better than the 6-7mpg my truck was getting. Although this tc will be my new daily driver I just want decent gas mileage but havent been able to find anything useing the search feature.

I have only messed with a roots type supercharger and I was not the main installer my dad was. I helped build the motor up, but i have no knowledge of turbo chargers. All I know is the basic principles behind it. For the motor I had a wireing kit made that did all of the electronics for me by a local guy.

awesome dude

you shouldnt really rely on what people here say because it will vary widely from car to car.

but remember the basic of power. more air + more fuel = more power.
