Does a turbo really lower emissons or is it much fuel efficient in a sports car?

I don't think so.

Maybe if you drive the car in a real unsporty way. But if you drive it the way it was intended to you will get surprised by the results, because than you have a gas guzzler.

Just my 2 cents

Yeah, look no further than the Ford ecoboost engines. Way less mileage than advertised. I own an escape with a 2 liter turbo. Advertised an average of 26 I think, lucky to get 20.
