ok i am for sure going to get a turbo for my 420a eclipse but i dont know which one to get between the hahn turbo kit or the treadstone kit could someone please research both for me and tell me because i know little about turbo systems except basic things and i also was wondering about when i get the turbo system installed what other engine mods can i get to gain even more hp?
 
uh why cant you search? you'll get the same hp from both its pretty much for the same psi. for you second question to get more hp you'll need to forge your engine since it'll only handle like 9 psi max. the search button is your friend use it

You said that you are kinda new to the turbo world, the first thing I would recommend is buying a book called MAXIMUM BOOST by Corky Bell, it will give you all the basic info that you need and will answer most of your questions.

That's so funny you said that I bought that book randomly before i turbo'd to read up on turbos. Never heard anyone refer to that book before.
 
the reason why i was wanting someone else to search is because i really dont know what to look for or what is better than another and what do u mean forge my engine how would i do that?

Forge engine= put forged pistons and rods in your engine aka your shortblock aka your engine block

YOU need to search A LOT. You want people to search for you but most of the people that know how to search wouldn't need to they know these things, thus why they're telling you to search so you can learn the same way they did

Give a man a fish you feed him for a day...I think you see where i'm going with this;)
 
your going to need to learn/read alot. if your not willing to learn just go buy a gst/gsx
 
Wow, really?

Please don't even think of throwing a turbo on your car until you understand EVERY component needed and their function.
