WOT
BPU
DSM
I think WOT is wide open throttle?
BPU I understand the concept, but don't know exactly what it means
DSM I know it's like an eagle talon, etc etc, but don't know exactly what it means.

WOT = wide open throttle..pedal to the floor
DSM = Diamond Star motors, basically the earlier eclipses, talons, lasers...they were made in a joint project between Mitsu and Chrysler, also the Galant vr4 is considered one too by some...but not the 3000gt or stealth. I'm sure someone can give you a more detailed history of it all, if you want.
BPU= basic power/performance upgrades, typically intake/headers(downpipe)/exhaust, boost controller for turbo cars...essentially the cheap common upgrades that most go for that offer more power without costing too much or causing reliability to suffer.

funny how 3000gt's aren't considered DSM because the logo on the front is a diamond star :)

the logo on the front is a triple diamond, not a diamond star, a star has 5 points, the mitsubishi logo has 3. Chrysler represents star.
