If you're interested in turbocharging, you might want to put a smaller engine into the car then use the turbo to make up for the lost power. Greenpeace achieved 78 mpg with normal driving by modifying a Renault Twingo (normally gets 35mpg). They made some aero mods, reduced weight, and made a few other small things, but most of the increase was because they replaced the 1.5L 4 cylinder motor with a turbocharged two cylinder. It actually put out a little more power than the 4 cylinder without costing significantly more.
Just a thought....
