As far as converting your RPW header to a turbo manifold.......not a chance. The flange is too low and too far foward to be able to fit a turbo. You'll need to get either RPW's turbo mani (which limits your turbo options to only one or two turbo's) or have one custom made. Mine's a custom job, ugliest thing in the world, but it does the trick. Another thing you'll need to worry about it placement of your turbo in front of the engine, too low and you'll run into problems running your IC pipes, too high, you'll have problems shutting your hood, too far to the right (as facing the car) you'll kill your radiator hoses, too far to the left, you'll have to get rid of power steering and AC (i'm without AC, who needs creature comforts when you're car goes "wooosh wooosh"?). Don't jump into a turbo application without doing your homework first.
When you're picking out your FMIC, keep in mind that if you get one that's even remotley tall, you'll have to cut or remove your front bumper support. If you're going to stay in your stock bumper, get a long narrow one ment to sit into the front of a 2g eclipse, fits perfectly. If you're going to get a body kit, I expect you'll want a nice shiny front mount to fill the big hole. Just do your research first is my advice.
