Turbo FE?

I know that turbos behave completely different than other cars, at least in the way of fuel milage.

Standard cars, Go easy on the acceleration, but use as high a gear as possible, and depress the throttle as much as possible without revving high. (Wider throttle=less resistance ect...)

Problem is, that turbo cars, if I have the throttle low, and floor it, I start getting into a boost condition, which sucks more gas, right?

I'd heard from some people that it's best to have minor turbo "boost" that will keep the vacuum/boost level at 0.

What is the best way to get fuel milage out of a turbo car? Is it better to go 65 and have the EGR and the turbo spooling the vac down to 0, or is it better to go 55 and have less wind resistance?
