In standard form (12A) they are a slug,but put in a standard 13B turbo the thing will fly.

As above, they are more of a cruiser/noise machine. Try get an S3 with a factory 13B if you don't want to do an engine swap and port the thing. I've seen extend ported carby 13Bs make over 180rwhp+ which in a little car will move fairly quick.
