Ok y'all I just joined today. I am new but been reading on here for bout two months. I bought a 98 eclipse rs-t that was running till right after I get it. Long story short guy I bought it from forgot to tell me air filter was broke. I get in it and leave an less than three minutes later I'm blowing black smoke sky high. Sucked up a pebble into the turbo not a clue how. Anyways I have put all my info bout the car in my profile minus one detail I'm running at 8 psi now with the spring I have. My question is would someone look into my profile see what I got and let me know what they think of it. What is it missing. What suggestions can they offer. And see if they would replace anything if they had this as their project.
I myself already know that I want to replace the suspension on the car and go with eibachs pro kit (damn did I miss spell that) also I still have to finish the water cooling hoses for the turbo (suggestions on that would be nice I am still not sure where I want the water source to come from). I also plan on buying a EMS but not sure on what I should get. I also plan on getting manual boost control so I can bump up to 11.5- maybe as high up as 15 psi. Again suggestions on that topic as well.

-Thanks for any comments and what not... O an anyone near Nashville tn
 
Few questions, Has the black smoke been resolved? Have you looked at the turbo to check for damage? Are you for sure a pebble was sucked into it? To my understanding, black smoke is a result of unburned fuel. Now if this smoke was plentiful and a blue-ish white haze erupting, I would definantly say whatever has been sucked through your turbo, pressurized and inducted into your engine has done major damage. But since you say it was black smoke, it makes me wonder.
