bottom line, don't do it. the stock eclipse engine cant handle a turbo with any significant boost. if you really feel so inclined to proceed on with your project then send me a message and i can tell you anything you need to know about it.

dev is right your engine cannot withstand the extra force because it is a SOHC a turbo will blow your engine.. on the other hand a DOHC engine could handle it. your best bet is getting a 4g63 2.0 DOHC, slap a turbo on there no problem. mitsubishi stopped putting stock turbos on the 2 generation 1999 gsx. and also stopped the AWD models so sad
Hey Dev, what size do u suggest? I got a 08 eclipse. Mivec 2.4 L. Im not tring to make it a drag car. Just want alittle more power.
That's not true at all I put a turbo kit on my 2003 gs and didn't have any trouble bought the entire kit for $409
I want to know about my 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse spyder, I want to add a turbo but don’t know which exact turbo to add on to the engine, I ain’t trying to race or maybe a little but my friend has the same car and he says his hit 212 not sure if I can believe it tho, plz I want to know what turbo to buy for my 6 cylinder
Scott Spencer's could you get in touch with me? i'd like to do the same to my 2003 gs. I've seen several guys do it successfully like you do did.
