Hy, first of all, please excuse me for my bad english.
I'm an Italian boy and I drive an eclipse 2g 420A.
I've some questions for you:
1) Where can I find tappets for my engine?
2) I want to buy a turbo kit, must I change the ECU?
3) What kind of ECU may I buy and where can I buy?
4) Must I change the injectors? What kind of this?

Thank's you.
 
1) The 420a does not have tappets, (per se) it has hydraulic lash adjusters, and the cam is followed by the rocker arm itself. Stronger PT adjusters and rockers can be had from http://www.howellautomotive.com

2) No.

3) If your 2g is a '97 model year, you can get an A/FX reprogrammed ECU, also from Howell Automotive (linked above). You can use AEM EMS, Haltech, and MS (MSnS) as ECU replacements (none of which are drop-in and go)

4) No. The stock injectors (with other appropriate fuel mods) can fuel an otherwise stock engine to ~8psi.

If you get a complete turbo kit from Hahn, you will not have to worry about anything else, Hahn's kit includes EVERYTHING you need to drive away boosting safely. If you piece your own together, or buy a kit that doesn't include fuel upgrades, you can use a 255lph fuel pump and an FMU for low boost.

Hope that helps.
