The last gen Eclispe (which was the current gen until the soon to be released re-designing, which also has no turbo option) didn't come with a option for a factory turbo'd car, meaning no 4G63 motor and turbo like the GST or GSX had...also they didn't come with the AWD option, like the earler years had in the GSX trim line...

the 2nd the last gens (the last gen DSM Eclispes and Talons) had what is refered to as a 7-bolt head. Their motor (4G63) could stuffer crankwalk at higher boost levels, a bad thing...it is kind of hit or miss...The ealier DSM's (Eslipses, Talons, etc) also had an option for an AWD model, and also could come with a 4G63 motor and a turbo. These ones had a 6 bolt head. They generally don't suffr crankwalk, so thats not a worry or a problem. Some think they don't look as good, however. The GST and GSX are the Eclispes turbo'd models (GST =2wd, GSX = AWD) The Talon TSi I believe is the turbo'd Talon model.

In case you didn't realize, DSM stands for Diamond Star Motors, since the Eclipse, Talon, and Plymouth Lazer were all basically the same car, designed in collaberation by Chylser and Mitsubishi. There were some other DSM's, but the commenly know ones are the Eclipses, Talons, Lazers etc. The N/A DSM Eclipses have what is basically a Neon engine, the Turbo'd ones have a 4G63. As I said, first gen is a 6bolt head, 2nd is a 7bolt head. 7 bolt heads can suffer crankwalk, and it's kinda hit or miss.
