420A Eclipse GS turbo kit?

[darkstarskaterb]

Is there a turbo kit i could buy for a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse gs? I bought one and i have a whole lot of money to dump into it, and i need to find out if there is a kit that i can bolt to my engine.

do a search! there are a few. star performance and hahn racecraft. star wit a fmic cost 2000 and hahn with a fmic is 3200. i made my own for less than 1400

i was wondering why star's kit was so much less? is it just not that great of a turbo or wut?

i think the star is a better kit overall. the instructions suck but most of the stuff is common sence anyway. it comes with a better turbo and a external wastegate.

to make it more clear with both kits you are going to want to replace parts from both kits. the deltagate it the star kit seems to suck. i'm not going to go into which parts should be replaced but if you want to save money you can make your own for a lot less than one of the kits.

I have a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse gs and i have been told by many people that it is most cost efficient to build my own turbo kit, i am really not good with cars but i like to save money, if anyone can help me out with the parts i need to buy to build my own turbo kit, i'm talk about a stage 2 turbo and getting some serious Horsepower in this car. Anyinformation would be helpful.

Now i can really understand wanting to build your own to save money, but i would seriously recomend against it on the grounds thats its pretty complicated to put together your own custom turbo kit unless you really know what your doing.

Also, from the price savings comparison ive seen here its not really THAT much when you factor in the extra time its going to take you to Fab the parts yourself and hunt down everything youre going to need to get it done right.

i agree if you are not good with cars get a kit and pay someone to put it on. i am pretty good with cars and i put togeather my own kit and saved about 1000 or so. it can be done look at the tech forms the complete turbo kit install tells you what parts you need.
