Good luck. There are some pretty sweet turbo kits for your N/A Eclipse.
Now for the bad news: You have the worst of both worlds. Of the more popular cars to mod (and I mean REALLY mod...not looks), the cars we'd consider larger/heavier cars ('Stangs, Camaros, Supras, 350Z) weigh a lot, but offsets this with prodigious power and torque. The compacts (we all know which ones), though carrying smaller motors and over-all power, are gifted with light-weight and nimble handling. You started-off with a car that, although has more power than say, a Civic EX (140HP vs 127HP), it also has to carry a frame that weigh almost 3000lbs, or almost 500lbs heavier than said Civic. Even turbo-DSM owners make fun of the N/A Eclipses. I know I sound like an asshole right now, but I hope this focuses you a bit, and shifts you to put your money where it's needed. I see a lot of these N/A DSMs running around with thousands of dollars worth of body-kits/spoilers/"mods", who get pissed when a stock car kills them.
