upgrading gen 2 turbo.

[96gstdsm]

hi i am new to eclipses bought one recently and somehting is wrong thing it is a throw out bearing. but anyways i am just wondering idd the 16g turbo is a good one to upgrade to. i'm not looking to have a drag car just a face street car. i saw them for sale on ebay for like 350 are those good ones and trustworthy to buy? i also want to know what sort of power gain i would get? how much faster 0-60 and 1/4 mile any ideas?

what else besides buying the turbo would i need so that my engine wouldn't die on me?

also what are the stock injectors in the gen 2 turbo? are they 450cc? would i need an after market exhaust system? if so what is the best one thats not like 1k to buy and that is a low note and NOT very loud?


ok any help or ideas i would be very gratefull!! thanks ----ryan.

At this stage in the game, there's a lot of mods cheaper than a turbo that will get you more gains than you'd see with a turbo. Get all the supporting mods first, and then upgrade the turbo.

The 16g turbos you see on eBay are mostly knock-offs. People have had mixed experiences with them. Some last for years, others just months. It'd be a safer, better bet to just buy a 16g from a reputable vendor.

Turbochargers.com sells what they call an Evo III GT. It's not made by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) like normal ones, and people are weary of it. It's basically a knock-off. However, the ones on eBay are knock-offs OF the knock-off. It would be a shot in the dark to buy one of these turbos.

Look here for upgrading your 2g.

For estimates on how fast you will be and what horsepower gains is called bench racing and they dont like that here. Take it to a dyno and to the track, thats the only way to find out.

Have fun.
