I know it's no City turbo but I have had 2 City Turb's and this little Charade, gotta say I find them both good fun to knock around in. I believe my charade handles better than both cities I had.

1994 Daihatsu Charade 3 door 5 speed manual
993cc 3-Cylinder rebuilt Chrissy 05

Hahaha, yeah thanks for the offer, like I said I actually did have a City Turbo I and a Turbo II, they got it over the Charade for power but not for handling.. This car is awesome fun and would actually be quicker with a smaller turbo in my opinion. They dyno'd 67.2kw is at the wheels, on 9psi, it's been road tuned since for 14psi..
I also have a more agressive camshaft and heavy valve springs to go into the car, which will help the power at the top end.. and allow the T25 to work a bit better.
Not trying to start an argument here with the City turbo boys, I just thought that if people are on the lookout for a City Turbo, (they're getting hard to find in good nick) "MAYBE" they might want to check out a Turbs Charade.
However, if you wanna come up to Brisbane.... We'll see just how the City does go!!!
Cheers

I know I know.. sorry I just figured that someone may be here looking for a small turbo hatch.. afterall I only bought this Charade because i couldn't find a City turbo.. ( I wanted that yellow one but the dude didn't respond in time) If the mods want it removed to preserve the City environment.. I won't be offended
