i personally hate buying things off of ebay and have heard many horror stories about peeps buying turbo kits online and the kits dont come with all the stuff and it always looks different in person just be careful. and you have alot of other upgrades to do to a 420a to get it to hold boost just do your research it before u jump into it be really careful!

Good answer Atown. For the record, I wouldnt buy a turbo kit from Ebay... You know you need a lot of supporting mods just to install that right?

That kit is a POS but there is one company on ebay that sells a halfway decent kit, and that has been used by alot of people. I believe the company's name was treadstone.

Yeah here is the link...notice the large jump in price
Treadstone Kit
 
The other places that sell a good kit is
CI Motorsports
Hahn Kit
 
But like dusty said its gonna cost more than just the kit to be able to run the turbo

Dude seriously use the search function.

eBay is NOT a performance part store.

exactly and ive heard some decent things about them. But you still need to spend alot more on fuel and tuning. Its obviously not gonna be the best quality, but its not crap like the $1000 kits are

Welp gess ill have to save up $3000 dolars then.  Or then again I could just buy 4 gsxr motors for $4000 and be 16cylinder neer 800hp lamberghini smoking eclipse!!!!!  I actualy do plan on doing that  in a few years.

Im for real about doing it to the eclipse. like the way im thinking is to just build it like a go cart with streight axles or somthing. Kind of thinking of running sprockets too cause the car would be really light just a big go cart.

I had a streight axle with a sprocket to i was thinking of using cause it could hold up to about 15,000 pounds of pressure and was tripple plated chrome and about 60" long. Could have just ran some spacers to get it wider. But i sold it or well actualy gave it away the basterd didnt pay me yet.
