Default Converting My Non-Turbo 93' Eclipse to Turbo

Hey i was just wondering if it was worth converting my 93' eclipse NT to turbo. It is still young with only 67k Miles. I want to just add a lil bit more power to the car. Whats the minimum i would have to spend to get this youngin Turboed?

well i have not personally done this but i belive you are better off to just buy a GST because i heard it is 6-8gz to do the conversion, because i was thinking the same thing and thats what i was told

nope, i had the same question before, i have a 1g and i was asking how hard/expensive it would be to switch to a 2.0 turbo and i was told i would be better off to just go buy a GST

That IS true, but what I was wondering about was where you got that conversion estimate from. Its not as bad as all that when it comes to a 1G...

i would strongly not do this. not from personal experiance but my friend mike (artificalboostin) turbos his car and man that thing ran good until he wanted to turbo it. the money you need to get it to run properly, you could have bought a gsx for about what youll have into the car.

unless you have a turbo car sitting there thats totaled to get all the parts from, its not really worth the money and time.
sell you mine
