 Well l what fun is THAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Really though..what do want to do?..and why the restrictions? as they say
"Speed cost money how fast do you want to go?"
 There was a turbo kit for it at one point..A reasonable maniflold pressure
might bring you up to 125-130 hp with only minor work...
I WILL,however, point out that the vangon is a GREAT power sponge..you put a
whole bunch of power into the tranny and very little makes its way up the
speedometer cable...
A 185 HP Rover V-8 gave startling acceleration..but so does a Honda CRX...
