HAHAHAHA!!!!
Got your attention then. No i didnt burn the Celica, or sell it.
Just visited the hobby shop on Sunday. Got meself a Tamiya Terra Crusher RC truck. It a 1/8th scale mofo of a gas truck!!! Only let down is it come 85-90% assembled from the factory(all the new big RC cars are unfortunately).
Weight-5.7kg ready to run
Length-560mm
Width-440mm
Height-
Tires-176mm tall x 100mm wide
Motor-0.18ci (3cc), but hanging to put a 0.25ci (bit over 4cc) in it
4WD with 2 speed auto g/box, reverse, dual disc brakes (on tranny), 8 oil filled shocks, etc, etc
I used to be into RC years ago, but then found real cars  ,
and now that the Celica is ALMOST finished, i needed something to keep me amused.
This thing is a fuggin beast. Does 50km/h out of the box.
Now, who makes minute turbos ???? CT12 may be a little too big for it

I dunno, the CT12's are pretty small and dont make much power i reckon you could adapt one.

Hmmm turbo on a model car engine. Hmmm 
Could work on a 4stroke, maby convert a leaf-blower 
Sucks if it is a 2 stroke, Only option is to go crazy with the dremel on the ports and go a fully sick tuned exhaust, Maby put a 3" tip on it.
By the By, Hows the car coming along Phil. It must be just about ready to fire up by now.

Unfortunately the 3 cylinder business has fuck all to do with the MoTec.....has everything to do with the $300 rotor button and $50 dizzy cap

That reminds me of an article I have of a guy that got a couple of beer kegs, strapped on a briggs and stratton motor complete with dihatsu turbo charade blower and some go-cart slicks. That thing was awesome. You could even fill it with ice and use it as an eski. It also had a big wing out back and wheelie bars.
Raise your hands who wants a 4 wheel turbo eski
