Actually, it was the FTO GP version R. Just kidding. I had to say something that sounded intelligent. Seriously, after looking at that engine bay, I'd say it'd be impossible for a TT setup, kit or no kit. I'll check that mag once I start feeling less like a boiled lobster and more human again.

The FTO is impossible to do a twin-turbo setup due to the space in the engine bay as I haev asked all Jap tuners on a twin turbo setup and they say its impossible except for a SINGLE TURBO SETUP but once its turbo it really kicks ***. Most turbo being used would be a HKs GT3037s or Apex turbo RX6b. But they cost a bomb to turbo the FTO. I know a couple of guys that turbo charged them In Japan and it cost them US$35,000 but the performance really is worth it 12.21sec on the quarter mile. Imagine a front wheel doing that 320hp.

How about the "GTO twin turbo"? (you may know it better as the "3000GT VR-4") or the "stealth turbo" (sold under the dodge name). The "Galant VR-4" also came as a V6 twin turbo model in Japan & Austraila.

The 3000GT VR-4 is a good highway car but its expensive to do up since the engine bay is packed it will cost a fortune doing up the turbo, intercooler, engine. However the Vr4 is a much easier and nicer car to play with as its got lots of room and a couple of tuning companies do performance parts for it. Anyway for me most Mitsi cars are cool like the GTO, VR4, FTO, Lancer EVO's. After driving the GTO,FTO,VR4 and EVO's I feel that teh Mitsi are only good for bottom end their top end seems to bottom out.

Ok going from memory here, don't blame me if my numbers are out.
There are 3 engines available standard in the FTO
1.6L MIVEC
2L Turbo
V6 MIVEC (can't remember capacity)

The 3 engines available standard in the FTO are as follows:
1) 1.8 engine non mivec - 4G92
2) 2.0 non mivec -6A12 (170ps from 1994 to 1997 180ps 1997onwards)
3) 2.0 mivec - 6A12 (200ps)

Cheers
