fto turbo?

[ant-fto]

just been thinking about changing my car for somthing with abit more power.. i have a 2.0 FTO tiptronic and although i think its one of the nicer looking jap cars it dose lack in power.
iv looked at skylines and s14 and a few others but i just love the look of the fto and id rather just try and squeeze abit more power out of it.
its got HKS induction and mongoose exhaust but iv been thining about turbo's... i know eurospec or whatever there callled do turbos but how would the auto box take the extra strain? other turboed automatics seem to take it ok dont they? eg the supra,200sx,skylines,rx7's,GTO's
i know someones going to suggest get a manual but i wear 2 faulse legs so i can only drive auto's.
if i cant get abit more out of the fto i think il start looking at bikes

cheers guys

You can't drive a manual because of having 2 false legs, but you're thinking about a bike? No offense intended, but how does that work?

You can gte it remaped and a MIVEC controller but you're not going to get massive BHP out of it.

So have a look here and do as they say, stick a VR4 engine in it

VR4's come with a tiptronic box as well

Also have a look here http://www.mitsubishi-fto.net/index.htm

For engine swaps

remapping and mivec controllers do sweet FA on FTO's.
infact mivec controllers actually reduce performance.
save your money and buy a supra auto.
