Yes the clutch is and upgrade! We think it's a stage 3 Because it had resistance when putting it in , and it would seriously have to be let out a MM at a time or it would stahl or spin! so0O i would def. like to get a diff clutch since i have tranny problems already! I think it woulda been impossible to pull out on a hill for having to let the clutch out so easily! Mitsubishi said they couldn't even access the computer so we think it may have Stand Alone! So i got a lot to work on n myswell do it all at once! And while i was driving it at certain times when getting on it the Blow off valve would go off a few times while the gas was in??? anyone know what that was the. cracked exhaust manifold??

Like jeff said, find out what turbo you have on there right now... from the pics it defiatly looks aftermarket and looks good sized you may be able topush the 400 you are looking for with that turbo and won't have to spend the money on that other one. lsd will help but you will still burn throught 1st, 2nd, and probably most of 3rd w/ 400whp.

whos jeff . Unless you meant me (john) haha.

And for the standalone thing, its a good possibility. Once again something you need to find. Blocking off the EGR is something that is real common to do, nothing thats gonna hurt you. Just gets rid of unneccesary emmision stuff . Now looking at all this stuff thats into this car the one thing im worried about it, Did this person do a 6-bolt swap? Please read the FAQ in the eclipse section to determine this, and if a swap was not done then a check of the play in the bearings is reccomended because you really dont want to deal with rebuilding this motor.

I almost think he must havesome internal parts built as well with this setup. What psi are you running at. Also with full boost what is your A/F ratio and EGT

my bad lol thought it was jeff that posted... oh well. i concur with JOHN lol if you bought it from a dealership i'm honestly not sure how to find out if you have a built motor or not other than tearing it apart, but if you bought it from an individual seller try to get ahold of him/her and find out exactly what was done to the car.

I drove in UTREVO's car when it ran... It was pretty damn fast!!! He was running it at 13-18PSi (low boost and high boost settings).. The turbo looks in good shape and made good power!!!
