um...i may be mistaken, but the RT magnum wasnt a turbo'd car, infact dodge doesnt make a single turbo 2.0L at all. if its a HO R/T its a high output 2.0 DOHC. someone correct me on this but your probably looking at 140hp or so. the SRT comes equipped with a turbo, bolted onto a 2.4L motor making 230hp and 245lb/ft of torque.
the car is fast, and drives well. its the best all around performance car you can find for anything less than $25,000 and will destroy most cars costing well above that price range!

2.0L SOHC I4 150hp@6400rpm
137lb-ft@3950rpm
Curb Weight ~2700lbs
It comes w/ sports steering(16:1), sports suspension, dual exaust, and standard ABS. And they only come in 5spd manuals.
0-60 mph in 7.5s with a quarter mile time of 16.1s at 88 mph and a top speed of 129 mph.
And btw HO stands for "High Output"
Its a pretty cool car, but you'll probably find a faster car for the money that you spend. If you want daily driveable perfomance, I would probably save some money and buy an 01 R/T for around 7k

Corrections, the older R/Ts were DOHCs, 2gns are SOHC; its 150hp, the SRT is a tooootally different car...
Additional Info: The extra 18 horses(132hp for the SEs, SXTs, ESs) were made by a revised camshaft(requires premium gas), and a "dual plenum" intake manifold, meaning that you have bigger secondary intake ports that open after 4000rpm. Not sure how it exactly works though...
