What kind of HP goals are you shooting for? All I can tell you is get a product that has actually been tried and proven true. Kits like that always make me leary. The intercooler, pipes, clamps and gaskets should all be pretty good to use. But I'd be picky about the turbo, BOV, and exhaust mani. Make sure the turbo(at least the 16G anyway) is an actual MHI and not some ebay POS. I've heard of Exhaust manifolds cracking too if they are cheap products. I can't really tell though on this one. I've also heard that knock off BOV's aren't very reliable, but then again just what I've heard and not what I've dealt with first hand. The most important piece is the turbo. You don't want to get cheap on that.

if you HAVE to pick between the two, i would go with the first one... the second one you posted doesnt even know what kind of car its for... GTS/GTX WTF is that!?!?! i wouldnt get any of the above... for that kinda money you could find a BADASS kit off Extremepsi or Slowboyracing IMO, i wouldnt even waste the time looking at the "Inlarged Pictures" if they doent even know the "T" is actually an "S" as in GST/GSX...

Stay away from kits like that, buy them in pieces and make sure they're original tubos like said above. Also, an intake manifold won't do you much with just a 16g or something similiar, there are much more bang-for-the-buck mods, like cams/cam gears or something like that. Intake manifolds should be more towards the bottom of a mod list, IMHO.

ok thanks for all the help
i also had a 255 walbro fuel pump if that makes a diffrent for the turbo or not.
But I wanted to get about 400hp into my eclipse and i dont want to do a half ass job on it so thanks again for all the help
so my best bet would be to buy the parts seperate?

[SilvrEclipse]

Yea buy the parts seperately. That way you can use the parts you like the best and also know that they will hold up and not break. Sounds like your fuel system is pretty good for now. You should go ahead and look at a 16g turbo and maybe a front mount. That should get you to a good start.

thanks for all the help
i really appreciated it!!

You're running 650's on a NEO with a 255 an no AFPR? You might want to be looking at a AFPR and possibly DSMlink, or something more adjustable than the SAFC NEO, unless they're more adjustable than a SAFC.

why are you running 650s on the stock turbo anyway? when you upgraded your fuel system, what turbo did you have in mind? just stick with that, if you dont want to go cheap, get a MHI 20g w/ External gate... that would be a 400+ setup w/ support mods...
