yes i can be done... not cheap though if you do it right. stock rings can take 8-9psi. 10 has been done but that's pushin it. you'll need:
manifold
turbo
wastegate
IC
ICpiping
bov
possibly a clutch
injectors
fuel pump
wideband
tuning deivce - safcII, greddy emanage
tune.
mind you that this is only 8-9lbs. all in all you are looking about 2-3k to tubo the car, if you want more power you'll have to rebuild the bottom end which costs apx 1000-1300. Then ur good up to 20psi until the head need work.
Welcome to the forum!!

take my word for it man.... it's SOOOOO much easier to just sell ur eclipse (you could prolly get about 5k out of it w/ the nitrous set up) and get a gs-t or gsx.... it's so much cheaper, simpler, and smarter!!! i was prettty damn close to having mine turbo'd. i had a complete seperate block, knifedged crank, bottom end rebuild, turbo, manifold, ic, icpiping, bov and boost gauge then realized i STILL had to get wideband, tuning program/device, injectors, clutch.... it's so much smarter to juet go w/ a gs-t or gsx. you can pick up a stock gs-t for about 5000-6000. gsx for between 6500-8500. and there are deals out there!!!
