I have a friend who just got a 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT V6 Manual, says its a turbo......now, im not denying it but all in all it doesnt feel much faster than mine, as mine is not a turbo, but i thought the turbo eclipses were the gts, not just the plain old GT? And as far as 2nd generation i thought gsx was turbo? help me out here, hes convinced its a turbo yet cant point out anywhere where it would tell you its a turbo, and also he says it was a factory turbo, mitsubishi only did it to "some" of the eclipses, its not aftermarket.......thanks everybody

Not stock...
No 3g Eclipses come with a turbo...
I have a 03 GTS spyder, and they do not come stock turbo...
It is rather costly to get a turbo on them, 10k ball-park...
So either he did it aftermarket (but i feel you would notice the difference) or he is a liar...

You WOULD notice the difference with a turbo (Ask Tearstone or WPSpyder) but there never was a production forced induction 3G.

Just look for it. A turbo kit on a 6g72 would be evident and obvious. But very unlikely. Most turbo'd GT/GTSs dont last very long... Theyre an engineering nightmare. ONLY the 4g63t variation Eclipses and DSMs (which 3G Eclipses are not) have turbo motors from Mitsu. The 6g72tt (which is what Im guessing he thinks hes got) was in the 3000GT.
In short; Theres a 0% chance of it coming from the factory like that, and a 1% chance that theres a turbo on that car at all.
Youre standard (Tearstone approved) turbo'd 3G GT/GTS Eclipse
