Turbocharged cars are absolutely the way to go for aftermarket tuning potential.
I'm in agreement about this being a great engine (along with a great car).

In terms of tuners, for German cars I hold Ruf in high esteem and is probably the best German tuner I can think of.
For Japan, I'd say HKS comes to mind as a good company.
I don't know enough about American tuners to recommend a good one.

For other engines, obviously the engine from the last Toyota Supra (don't remember code) is hyped up as easy to get a lot of power out of along with the 4G63 engine most recently in the Mitsubishi Evolutions.
