    Most turbocharged vehicles locally available are diesels. What exactly do you need?

    Turbocharged GEN I Pajeros go for Php 300K.

    A 1981 Mercedes Benz 300SD turbodiesel goes for a lil bit more.

    you can buy 6G galants for around 250k, 4G63T engine niya via engine swap.

    if you can find an authentic galant (gti-look) vr4 it may be a good buy..ung may awd and aws mas maganda..pero mga 5 years ago ata it cost 800K secondhand.. proto wira alam ko may nilabas na turbo...

    evos are 1M mark prin ata. corollas/lancers/galant/corona na nag-engine swap its your best cheapest bet.hyundai matrix crdi?

    madaming choices, just share mo din ung preferences mo...

    ung avatar and sig ko..mayroon nyan na dito sa pinas naligaw, kulay itim..mga 850K sa ortigas car xchange, mga 2 years ago..

    mayroong ding rvr-hypersportsgear(4g63t, awd and front mount intercooler) na nakita ko sa may subic apex in quezon ave, 500-600thou

    locally, wala halos cars na fitted with stock turbo, your best bet are imports, JDM imports in particular.

    AFAIK turbo charged cars available locally

    mitsubishi evolution - available from the local dealer and grey market

    porsche's - available from the local dealer and grey market

    subaru's - there will be a local dealer for subaru's next year but for now you can only get it thru the grey market

    ano pa ba? yun lang alam ko eh.

    pakidagdagan na lang.

    looks like you want a fast turbocharged car... well the S14 silviass are aging nicely, pero the majority of them are converted and A/T. pero kung ok un pagconvert and if u dont care if its A/T then that'll be ur best bet.

    How about a late nineties Subaru WRX or Mitsu Evo. Evo 6 or 22b would be nice if u could fine one thats not been abused.

    dami naman... it all depends on your budget and swertiness to find a good one.

    oh well, budgetwise, i need a larger amount of money. i guess engine swap is the cheapest way to have a turbo charged car.
