    Are you kidding me? Just the electronics/hardware to run the fuel will be $300-1,200+.

    It's like the queen wants to know if you want to eat dinner at the palace or at the castle. Either way, you're havin fillet mignon.

    Volvos are probably all you can find in your budget with a turbo:

    Now, this post made me laugh out loud. You have got to be kidding. 1k, is all you have or are willing to use for a car? If that really is all you have, save some more money and than start thinking about what cars are boost friendly. Maaannnn

    Mid 80's mustang svo or cougar turbo? Might find one for around a grand. At least you have a rwd then and you could get parts cheap.. Ive seen vids of them making 400whp on stock 4cyl internals.

    Even if you are a twit, here is something to think about. And read.

    Im really surprised that only once in this thread i've seen it mentioned.. But.
    Dig around for Turbo VOLVO's. You can find old mid-late 80s turbo 740s and such for under 2 grand, sometimes you get lucky and find them for about your pricerange. Or pick up a non turbo and put a turbo motor in it. Probably, being serious, one of your best options for a cheap, tough ass turbo car for cheap.

    Or buy an old 325 bmw. They are cheap to find and take to boost well.

    Also Rustang was close with what he said. But SVO mustangs are either expensive or beat up. Look for Turbo Coupe Thunderbirds. I paid $1,000 for one i had last year and it was really tough, they have tons of options to make them fast... For CHEAP.

    if you do decide to go with an n/a car and then purchasing a turbo kit, I would advise you not to use ebay for your turbo... I bought a turbo kit for my 92 240sx with the dohc k in it..... well it lasted about 3 weeks then the turbo seals went bad, Pipes are okay but turbos not so much.

    fyi
    It was not the ss auto chrome kit.

    Supra, 03-04 Cobra, and Grand National are the first that come to mind. These cars are built for boost and can handle pretty good amounts with stock internals..
    I've personally had cobra's with well over 800+hp at the crank with stock internals
