Well maybe if it revved to 9k 240hp wouldnt be bad.
I hope you were just trolling...

There are three types of car buyers:
* Ethusiast - to whom turbo doesn't mean jack squat in a light body car designed to go fast in corners.
* Posers - to whom performance doesn't matter, only appearances.
* The rest - wouldn't buy the 86 anyways

So actually, I guess you could be right afterall, by slapping in a turbo (and offsetting the desirable lightweight characteristics drivability), they may be able to attract lots more $$$ from posers who don't know better.

Realistically everyone can see that we're NOT going to see a stock turbo from Toyota, not even when working with Subaru. You can pray for a Subaru version though...
