Terrible idea. No way in hell I'd ever own a 4 cylinder turbo in a pickup truck. If you want to actually move you need boost, which means no fuel mileage. Try towing down the freeway, I bet the mileage will be worse then the V6 and as bad or worse then the V8.

And then if you're talking modded, I'll just throw a turbo on the v8 and destroy whatever numbers that 4 cylinder puts out.
