"Cheap turbo vehicle with practical 4 doors and hatch"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Purchased on ebay for $800 and it has pretty much everything, but will get a new turbo, intercooler and adjustbale boost control. Plan to get 200 KW at wheels, even though SOHC is old tech, it should do it nicely.

General comments?

Pretty quick and solid on highway, seamless Japanese gearchange, cheap to run. Front wheelers are generally not my forte, especially on corners and when more boost is placed on front wheels.

200 Kilowatts on the front wheels will not be comfortable. Good luck mate, hehe.
