How much does your car weigh? I think the fact it's a turbo won't make much of a difference at all unfortunately. A bit more torque yeah, but not enough to make a big effect on the result. Imo anyway!

Especially as Matt's has mountains of the stuff and more bhp than you, but still lost

im not sure its pretty heavy.. 1155kg

but according to cs stats

Vehicle Year BHP 0-30 0-60 0-100 1/4 Time 1/4 Speed

Peugeot 106 GTi 1997 120 3.2 8.2 23.9 16.5 86

whereas mine is 120bhp(ish, suposedly more) 0-62 is 8.9

so it is quite close.. but i would get raped in the twisties
