Compiling a list of factory turbo cars...please help
I am going to update my website soon to include a page on ALL factory turbo cars that have been available to the common man ( not Ferraris and other things that never come to cheap junkyards) in the US and Canada, including as much info on the turbo as I can get and would like some help. I searched and found no one with such a comprehensive listing, so I decided to put up my own on one of my sites. What I would like is for anyone who knows of a car I have forgotten, or who knows the model of turbo in a given car ( something I don't know about almost ANY of these cars!), to post it here and help me out. Thanks!
So far, I can think of these cars: Saab 9000, 1962 Olds Jetfire, 1962-1969 Chevy Corvair, Mazda RX-7, Various Chrysler oferings in the 80's-90's with the 2.2/2.5, Neon SRT 4, PT Cruiser turbo, Maserati Bi Turbo, DSM triplets, Merkur XR4Ti, Porsche 924/944, Dodge Colt/Mitsu Mirage, Saab 9-3, VW/Audi's with 1.8t, Nissan 200SX, Nissan 300ZX, Mitsu Galant VR-4, Mitsu 3000GT, Volvo 740/760 and 850 GLT, Ford T Bird Turbo coupe, Various Buick Regals from 1978-1987, Chevy Monte Carlo in 1981-83(?), Buick Riviera, Pontiac Sunbird, Pontiac Gran Prix ( late 80's), Pontiac Trans Am ( 1980-81 and 1989 Pace Car), Subaru-GL- XT6- WRX- Justy, Chevy Sprint turbo, Suzuki Swift GTi, Ford Mustang 1979-82 and 85-86 SVO, Toyota MR2, a Toyota pickup in the 80's, Renault Fuego, Mazdaspeed MX-5, Mazda MX6, Ford Probe, Mercury Cougar XR-7, Datsun 280zx.
I am sure I left out something. I didn't put anything at the high end on the list like the Porsche 911, or Diesels as they do not have anything that is either easily accessable or useable in a gasoline engine. Any help with the model of turbo or displacement of the engine in any of these cars will be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, you may be right, I thought it was a sister car to the Chevy Sprint turbo. Also, I thought of a few more: Chrysler Conquest TSi/Mitsubishi Starion, and the Mazda 323 GTX.Oh, and the Mercury Capri XR/2 (FWD, Mazda B6 powered) as well as the Mercury Capri (RWD Fox chassis in the early 80's)
( And yes, I am VERY bored with every aspect of my life, but this project is really something I wanted to do for refrence purposes so that people wishing to do ghetto turbo setups could get facts and measurements from actual factory turbo setups)
