Question PT Cruiser w/ turbo?

Yesterday at work in birmingham I saw a white pt cruiser w/ full body kit,lowered,w/ huge window visors, and 17' white bbs'. I heard the turbo when he floated past which was crazy cause who would honestly invest n 1 and turbo...WOW!
And wut do u guys have against white walls? I planned 2 put some on black 18's or 19's.

Some of them come stock with same turbo setup as SRT/4 Neons, sound like that person did some mods.

The PT is heavy for a small car. With the na engine it's kind of underpowered, so the turbo helps to move it around better. I had one (na) as my company car and it wasn't too bad. Wished it had the turbo tho.

I stay away from SRT4's for two reasons.

1. so few of them are stock.

2. I would never, ever, risk giving some pimply faced, teenage bu**hole in a POS Neon, the satisfaction of beating a Lexus.
