Yes the initial cash outlay is probably a lot more than they are planning not to mention the maintenance costs are pretty extreme. (it's a Mitsubishi)
Don't forget a Dodge Neon (DOHC) Again since it's newer cash outlay is probably more than you are planning for.

if you wanna go with cheap? get like a 91 either Beretta GTZ quad 4 or a Escort GT. You can custom do a turbo on either for next to nothing. the FMU is the most expensive part. I was gonna do a GTZ turbo all together with the T3/T4 hybrid that i won off ebay(125) and the sparco intercooler(210) all the plumbing and everyting it was a little less than a grand. Just throwing some ideas out there.

You need to understand racing better to understand that you dont need an exotic custom turbo to be over your head. I would check the rally classified pages as it's infinitely less expensive and easier to buy a pre-built car. You may make the point that it is too easy to do it that way, but i can assure you that you will spend more than enough time fixing problems, messing with setup, and fine tuning the car to your taste. Also if possible talk to local rally participants if you can find some names and numbers online, ask them what a good beginner car is, and ask them if they know of any for sale, the way a car is prepared makes a difference, and they will know which cars are a good investment.

Why would you seriously want to do this when you can buy dime a dozen turbo dodges. $500 gets you a great turbo dodge car, Omni, Charger, etc. and there are parts in the junkyard everywhere. Just add fuel and up the boost in those things...who cares if you blow a motor just buy another one, they are incredibly cheap.

Completely agree on the Dodge turbo, one of the cheaper ways to turbo. However, if I wanted to do both Rally and Auto-x on the cheap (and have fun) I'd go something rear-wheel drive, and non-turbo. And there is nothing like a pony car for cheap, tail-wagging fun.

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

That 323GTX would fit the bill nicely I think. Factory turbo 4WD homologation version of Mazda's rally car from some time back. A real screamer from what I hear.

Couldn't agree more.
Get one with a Turbo II engine if you get one.
