    Pick me pick me!!!! My car is for sale... the hood and spoiler are off.... and the all the polished pieces except for the Supercharger housing and PCM are staying. Also Its going to be a little more than 15k.... car only has 34k miles on it. Engine/Trans/turbo kit only have 500 miles. Will easily for for a daily driver. Turn the boost knob down to 14psi and you will have a 425-440whp car. Crank it up to 19psi for the track and run 500whp, all on 93 pump gas! If your interested hit me up in a PM.

    If your looking for performance and know how to do your own engine work, go for a DSM. You can get a NICE 2gen Eclipse GSX or Talon TSI for about $6000. The 97-99's look great. Stock setup has 205hp and 210tq with a t25 turbo and AWD - high 14's in quarter mile.

    I had a 95 GST with the 6bolt swap and a 14b turbo... also had a few minor mods - ran 14 flat all day. Very fast cars with a lot of performance potential... but its crucial to upkeep maintenance or they will take a poop on you.

    Regardless of what turbo car you get - you should definitley get one with AWD (mitsubishi, suburu, audi, etc). Turbo AWD go hand in hand.

    i had a 90 Talon Tsi. Ran 14psi on the stock turbo with aftermarket FMIC, fuel stuff(bigger injectors and fpr) and bolts on. Car had about 300awhp with 4k invested including the car.
