[Diy_efi] 10hp injected turbo

[Lee M. Lemoine]

I just bought a 2006 Subaru Legacy GT Limited... 2.5 liter DOHC with VVT,
turbocharged and intercooled.  I get about 17 mpg with a 5 speed auto
transmission, and a fair amount of jackrabbit starts (hey, i haven't found
anything that pulls on me yet!)...

Either way, i would love to drop a cylinder and see twice or three times the
economy...  maybe i can toggle a switch just not to fire the injectors or
ignitors for one of the cylinders ;)
