The Ford Pinto was never FWD, always RWD.

We have also a turbo. Okay, its a diesel so it needs a turbo. But I joined a little time ago a ride with an old Saab Turbo. That's one explosive car! Till 3500 RPM you thin ''uhm not very fast'' but than start the turbo to work! You can hear the turbo screaming, such nice sound!

I've got an 03 Mitsubishi Lancer O-Z rally with a RRM turbo kit, T28, intercooled. But the car was considered a total loss by the insurance company and I'm buying a new car .

He has it stock from factory The GST eclipses have turbos, as well as the GSX.

You could certainly turbo your car if you wanted, but if there isnt a readily available kit, then its likely going to be expensive since you have have to fabricate a few custom parts.
