If your prepared to look past the 306, Swedish turbo cars are easily and cheaply tuned. My mates Saab 9000 is a J-reg 2.0 turbo, it cost him 450 quid off eBay with 175bhp as standard. With a bigger turbo (TD04 I think), bigger injectors, a massive intercooler sticking out of the bumper, a thick steel headgasket and an aggressive map he's running about 400bhp on pretty much standard internals, and he's only spent about 500 quid on it! It does eat a lot of gearboxes though, 4 in 2 years...
