Question electric and acceleration probs on 98 eclipse gsx

I just bought a eclipse gsx with high miles for my wife. the only history i know of it is that the tranny was converted to a manual and it has a hks type 1 turbo timer. i believe the injecters where changed. on the electrical side the convertable top, all windows, mph and rpm gauge (but indicater lights work on cluster) allong with the after market gauges dont work. and on the mechanical side when i give it full throotle i lose acceleration and there is as sound that i think is the turbo spooling up. i have hurd of the same prob from the friend that reffered me to this site but i have found no tech support on it. and advice is greatly appriciated.
thanks

I look on the ecu to see if there is a chip to compensate for the bigger injectors. bigger injectors with out the ecu knowing it makes the car run richer and loose hp. It does have slow accleration with bigger injectors with out compensation, you will notice slower increase in rpms too.

Yes it will cause it to bog down because the car will be getting to much fuel and not enough air. And for the eclectrical problem it sounds like you have some blown fuses either under the hood or at the inside fuse box

If your wanting to get something from like dsmchips you will have to get an eprom ecu which only came in 95 dsm's. Or you could put stock back in or just get an afc or another type of fuel controller.

Pick up some stock injectors for $60, sell the 660's for $100 and take your wife out to dinner. BAM. DONE.
