What they worded wrong is calling it a "reduction in fuel economy" rather than "reduction in fuel consumption" or "improvement in fuel economy".

In any case, this looks like +valvetronic -weaker boost system. Assuming they're still trying to keep the low-lag naturally aspirated "feel", this single turbo would still be quite small. The lower weight is a bonus, but I have a suspicion that aftermarket hp upgrades will not be nearly as dramatic as the N54's.
