Just remember guys, this model DID come factory delivered with a turbo version (well, in KA Laser variety they did anyway).
The Australian version sucked though (literally). It was a draw through carby turbo setup that made pretty much fuck all power.. The JDM turbo engine was a fuel injected version of the same engine (1.5L single cam turbo, with EFI).
They made about 115hp (86Kw i think) pretty much on par with an ET Pulsar.
Try doing a search on Google for E5 Turbo and you'll get some results pointing to Laser sites.
No idea if it ever came out with the Auto box behind it, but I doubt it very much.
If she has the 1.3L engine, you can forget about turbo-ing it unless she wants to swap the engine.
I think the E5 turbo (1.5L Turbo EFI) can be found for about $900 (or maybe less).
