next challange was to overcome the tach issue. the 7g galant had a distributor so it won't read the tach signal. so i surgically removed the 2g tack and placed it in my cluster. perfect fit.

I love these galants. I especially love the interior room when compared to the Eclipse's and Talon's. How does it do out of boost compared to the 2.4 as far as torque goes. I am wanting to build one of these for my next car and am trying to decide between the 2.0, or 2.4 with forged pistons and dohc head.
 
out of boost its perfectly fine. i was going to build a 2.4 hybrid but its too much torque. traction would e a serious issue. the swap wasn't bad at all, as long as you have a 97-98 galant since they are odb 2
