ithe car has enough power, it's the weigth which was it's problem I guess
Know anything about 4 cylinder turbo cars? I guess not
It's very easy to make power for short periods of time, however the longer you stay in boost you start to exceed the thermal and physical limits of certain parts.
Like pistons and headgaskets.
Car makers usually forbid towing with turbo cars because they know under load the car will be under boost almost all time.
That being said I did tow with my turbo van for long periods of time but it required a LARGE radiator and an oil cooler and boost was regulated to a modest 6 psi (less the 1/2 a bar for you metric fans) compared to the factory stock 10 psi.
And even then it still cost me three headgaskets in 73,000 miles, a warped exhaust manifold and a cracked cylinder head.
