Why is it stolen?

Why is it every car that has a turbo or some sort of forced induction gets stolen... seems every thread has like one person saying it was good till it was stolen...

That's where the money is, although I can't say I've noticed many (if any) theft problems mentioned here.

IMO, if you spend $30,000 on a car, boosted motor and driveline and can't pony up another $600 for a top-of-the-line GPS anti-theft unit, you need your head examined.

One way to get around that would be to mount the turbo under the hood were it can't be seen.

Perhaps the simply awesome sound from the car having forced induction on it is just too much for some people... Bob
