i had a completely standard fiesta turbo and they are absolutly shit, comes on boost sort of really low down then runs out of puff at the top end, i got spanked by a zafira gsi driven by an old bloke and had about 5 kids in it which wasnt embaresing in the slightest. Used to spin the inside wheel out of every roundabout even in 3rd gear as there is no lsd and has 105 90 14 tyres lol.

As a standard car they are utter shit but look nice when done up
