A friend of mine with the same turbo as I have installed (actually, I bought the turbo off of him) got his car up to 150mph. Don't count out a car just because it has a 4 cylinder engine. My friend's Eagle Talon will out accelerate a Viper in the 1/4mi. Stock, a turbocharged Eclipse has as much hp as an older 5.0L Mustang. And with a bit more boost, the Eclipse can blow it away.
