Nope, thats a bad deal, and here is why:

A.) Cost. You can build your own from 1g/2g turbo parts for about $1000.
B.) It doesn't come with the Emanage you need to run it
C.) It doesn't come with the wiring harness you need to run it
D.) You will still only be running at about 220hp... not enough to beat out a GT/GTS eclipse.
E.) It looks like a mess

F.) Their chart is way off. A 3g eclipse runs about 120 to the wheels. The chart shows 110. Also, they say it adds 80 hp. But they have it running 230hp to the wheels. That is about 120whp difference. I don't believe that 5psi on that turbo will do that for you.

Go research how to do it with 1g/2g parts. You will be better off. It seems like a decent kit, but not for the price.

No, because as previously stated, you can build your own for much cheaper and it will be tons better.

Drives: 1996 Talon AWD. Built, but no longer drives: 1997 mitsubishi eclipse RS; 1990 Talon AWD; 1995 Talon AWD, 1997 Talon AWD. Seems like a pattern
Ebay isn't a bad place. But know what you are looking for before you click me

And as always with any auction, ask as many questions as possible to find out the history of the part you are buying. For instance. That turbo above looks to be in great shape but the seller didn't show any pics of the wastegate outlet. It may be welded for use with an external gate. That's something you will need to know so ask the seller for another pic....etc

there is a button on your screen that says "search this forum"

I suggest you use that to find your answer. If not, google works wonders.

Go find a 1g or 2g turbo and take all the turbo components off of it, it will be cheaper, fit your car better, and faster than any kit you'll buy, not to mention there are 1g/2g turbos that you can buy parts of all over the place, it will take the same amount of effort as finding a good turbo kit on the internet.

silver, are you saying a 1g/2g turbo kit would fit or just the stock turbo setup?

Just the stock setup will get you going. Then you can upgrade as needed. You will end up saving thousands.

Neither.

Go to car-part.com and search for a turbo eclipse manifold.
