well there is always the option of throwinng a KLZE in a scort... ive seen it done... 13's n/a stock. Great cheap fun car to build... 88-92 they made a 2.2l turbo probe that came stock with a IHI... But alot of people build t3/t4 hybrids for them.... pretty quick car you can find runnin decent for well under $800 spend $15 on a manual boost controller up that sucker to 15psi... and you can be moving.... they arnt the best looking cars but the people who you beat will look dumbfounded...

FOr reference here is what they look like:

i woulnt mind owning one... my friend has a first gen probe gt running 12's the F2 style motor design was bought by kia... so you can find low milage motors to build n boost cheap

previously he was running the thing on stock turbo and put down 268 ft/lbs at the dyno...
