I could find you the turbo for pretty cheap; would an eclipse turbo work on your ride?

I think just about any turbo would work so long as its sized to work with a 2-3L motor. Know some people do yah!

Yeah in Cali. My cousin is part of L.A. DSM's and they are always upgrading their turbos. The Eclipse GST is a DOHC 2.0L motor, so that should work right?

I believe T25's come stock on GST's which are small. Think most upgrade to 16g's. I scored a Saab Mitsubishi TD04HL-15T for $150 from LKQ auto recycling. Those come factory on AERO Saabs which are good to 300hp with a good solid torque curve and minimal lag. Think Scooby STI's use them too. Really not sure what other good stock OEM turbos there are but Aaron knows more about that stuff then I do. I just know the BB Garrett GT line...

Thanks for the heads up.
Got a busy day on the sedan today, got to change the oil again (2k over due), see if this new to me torque mount will fit and see if I can find some color match paint to hit the grill with. PepBoys here I come!

End of weekend update, Got the oil/filter changed. The engine mount needs to be modified, as of right now its a no go. The bolts on my car are 1/2" and the mount is for 3/8" bolts. I tried to drill out the center of the bushing, but that destroyed 2 good 1/2" bits, that's some hard steel, gonna have to take it to a machine shop and have them chuck it in a lathe and hit it with a carbide bit! I also picked up some Red Brake Caliper paint to try out.  Check this out, 49,365 miles and they look almost new!  non painted.  Now this I did really quick, not a very good job but I just wanted to see how it was going to look, have to go back and sand/clean up the calipers/mounts a little more and then shoot them.    later gator! |

Steven has a drill press, so he just offered to drill the mount out for you.

DOWN FORCE BRO! jk. It actually looks really clean. I just don't like how it curves up so much, a less drastic curve would be nice.
