Is there going to be a turbo for the SC400? is there any company in progress or planning to make one?

or is the only route going to be a custom one-off turbo setup?

Hey, Bean:

I see you have a 87' FC Turbo. Do you have any internal mods on it - i.e. Porting?

A proper turbo kit for one of these cars would be well over $6000, if not $8000 or more. I doubt anyone would pay the price.
