Do I go for turbo or N/A aftermarket parts?

[KANGA07]

If I put a turbo kit on gs, does it then become a turbo eclipse and I buy turbo eclipse parts, or do I continue buying non turbo things? What if they deal directly with the turbo, like intake manifold, nitrous, etc. Anybody else have the answer, please help me out.

n/a parts.. its still a base n/a car with a turbo kit.. though it really depends on the parts your talking about as some things are turbo related and some are n/a related

They are completely different engines. You would still buy things for the 420A engine because you still have that engine. Like LarryD mentioned, you might want to buy a GS-T exhaust, due to it's larger piping.

What is the size of the piping for a GST exhaust?

 

[guedo512]

3 inch. non-turbo piping is 2.5 inch max. stock piping on a non-turbo is 2.25 inches

There is no way a stock turbo exhuast is 3 inches!!. A stock GS-T exhuast would flow better than the one for the GS and RS. I would go with some sorta aftermarket GS-T exhuast. 3 inches. Once you buy a turbo kit, the manifold and everything else realted would be included. If you have a 2G then you have a completely different engine and nothing for the stock 4G63 will work for your engine. If you have a 1G then you can use the stock parts from a 1G turbo.

There's a place that sells 3", 4" and 5" Mandrel bent exhaust for the NT 2g's. There is a post on www.asog.net message board somewhere with links, search for it if you feel like it.
