I recall a special model of Chrysler product back about 10 years ago that
had been seriously tweaked by Carroll Shelby.  Among the mods made to
this car (might have been a LeBaron?) was a variable sized intake on the
turbo, which was supposed to reduce turbo lag and increase maximum boost
at the same time.
