I've had valuable input from all of you, and Emonz has made a great suggestion.
Some backround:
-2001 Eclipse RS 2.4L Automatic
Mods: Performance wise, just a K&N Cold Air Intake and a Megan Racing Muffler
So this is my question:
Would it be worth it to turbo my Eclipse 3g? I've been told that (Sebba) "If I want speed, sell it and get a 3g GT or a 2g GSX."
I don't want to sell it, but is this a true statement?
I'm looking to turbo the eclipse-
1. Transmission Cooler
2. Slap the turbo on the 4g64
***At this stage, it will give around 300whp, and 10-15 PSI, Correct?
If I get a bigger paycheck:
3. Evo 8 Head swap
4. Cat-Back Exhaust (last and final engine mod)
What would you say about the 3g RS Automatic being slow? And would the Tranny cooler + Turbo really put out around 300whp? I need some advice, please. Thanks.

Things required to turbo:
Exhaust manifold.
Intake Manifold
Custom DP
Custom Catback
o2 Housing
Turbo
Injectors
SAFC II or Greddy E-Manage
Fuel pump
Front mount intercooler
Blow off valve
The list goes on.
Seriously, if you even have to ask the question, then you shouldnt be doing it. If you dont know what you are doing at all times then you are going to **** up.
Even if you do by some magical event, actually turbo the car, it will be a problematic little bitch. You run the risk of blowing the ring lands on the pistons... and just destroying the motor all together.
The bottom line is, its much more cost effective, to get a GSX. Not to mention you will hate FWD with a passion with 300whp.
Oh, and learn to drive a stick.

Okay? Its a project. Its hard to find a GSX for a fair price too, by the way.
