Which is right for me? - 7/27/2007 12:59:02 AM    XFadeLD   Posts: 102 Joined: 6/12/2007 Status: offline Whats up, im VERY new to turbo chargers, i understand how they work and where their installed and such, BUT i dont know about specs or where to find them. I found some ad's on Craigs List selling turbos and was wondering what the specs were if their different on different eclipses and such, I found this ad this items specs are a .50A/R and a .63 exhaust housing. 5 bolt exhaust flange and dont know if thats something that would fit or not, excuse my being a newb so much, im new to alot of stuff on cars. by the way if it helps i have a 1997 Eclipse GS 2.0, stock engine. Also will this mess with the engine/harm the engine if its stock? Thanks Guys. -Dennis < Message edited by XFadeLD -- 7/27/2007 1:01:33 AM > Post #: 1

About the turbo specs... http://www.mitsubishiforum.com/m_89436/tm.htm Like i said in previous posts :) search does wonders.... there youll find links from how does it works, to what does everything turbo related means. i hope you find this helpful someday... ps, lots of ppl will try to tell you to get rid of the 420a so be warned =) _____________________________ ''98 2g 420a -Custom Aluminum radiator -Short ram shroom intake -No rice ''83 GTI 1.8 *SOLD* "the boat is gone, but now we got this huge gaping hole in the fence" (in reply to XFadeLD) Post #: 2

Dont just try and weld up a turbo and  i think you can safely run 8psi on a stock internal gs. There are a few places that make kits, just do some searching around BUT just to fairwarn you(you would be better off in the long run to just buy a GS-T or GSX) Kaede told you it was coming...lol _____________________________ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2550766 http://www.myspace.com/7692139 quote: lol, not true. After all the basic upgrades, Tubro + NOS will do the trick. (in reply to XFadeLD) Post #: 3

Because i pushed the hell out of my last RS (Which was not fast but not slow but what can you expect when the car is totally stock) and now look where it is, in a junk yard haha.
