Junkyard Find: 1988 Dodge Daytona Turbo

Remember the rear-window louver craze? Thanks to the large numbers of Daytonas and Lasers that clung to life long enough to enter junkyards in this second decade of the 21st century, we can relive the Louver Era!
If I ever turbocharge my A100 van (I'm considering it; there's plenty of room for turbo plumbing beneath the engine), I'm going to use this genuine Chrysler boost gauge.
These cars weren't known for reliability, but plenty of them are still around. I saw this '90 last month, and the Chrysler G-body isn't particularly rare on the street even after a quarter-century.
Should we refer to the late 1980s as the Louver Era or the Turbo Era?
