been researching several possible mods,but....

1. The one thing i've seen on the forum is some have put a Light Pressure Turbo in their car. after reading the info about it, i'm not 100% sure how this would increase mpg in a car. way i saw it, it could lower mpg due to a richer air mixture and the ecu would increase fuel for a cleaner burn. Maybe i'm wrong any thoughts.

2. I have a close friend who does body work on cars. I'm going to talk to him about put side shirts on the back of the car. But when i was measuring i notice my spoiler on the car. is this a mpg zipper or does really help that much on the aero?

3. My car had a small wreck in the front and back before i bought it and the hood is alittle messed up but not much. but the the sides of the hood are up just alittle bit may like.....1/8 to 1/4 of an inch. now what i read on aero, this raise in the hood shouldn't hurt my aero,but possible help. in the direction of the air is flow over the hood to the windshield. and with the raise it would seem to flow at a better angle. Again, i could be way off on my calculations. Cause one thing i thought about getting is a new hood(possible a fiberglass one to save on weight)

4. I saw the aero hupcaps on the forum and done a search online can't find them. Any help on this?

5. the previous owner put on wider tires then what the car calls for. is this hurting or helping mpg wise?
