    You can turbocharge any car you want, but it's not a case of strapping a turbo on and that's it.
    TBH if you're having to ask the question then you're not going to be able to do it.
    I would suggest that if you want a turbo then get a car with a turbo as standard.

    Yes it can. Cost will be ridiculous though as it'll either be a custom built system or possibly the novitec supercharger which are rare as rocking horse ****

    As for more power...induction, exhaust, cams, headwork...all the usual things really.

    Forget remapping as it can't be done. The only realy solution for that is either a piggyback ECU or standalone management....again costing ridiculous amounts.

    That was by downshifting by accident though iirc. Off the top of my head the computer recorded 15k rpm!
    Punto Gt no more!

    for the money of making a HGT quick you may as well of bought a 172.

    However throttle bodies ftw.
