Default '97 gst for flipping

I bought this stock gst eclipse for 2500 and was wondering your thoughts for selling it for 6-8Gs if I installed an electronic boost control, changed the ecu to the gsx (or suggestions for a good after market ecu), stage 4 (six puck) clutch and a lightweight flywheel.

Not trying to rip anyone off just wanna know a good price for flipping an all go no show tuner. (maybe park it infront of a highschool)

first of all there is no reason to change the ecu. and also mods normally dont add much to the value of the car unless they are rediculous mods. How many miles are on the car?

100k, any thing that you would suggest mod wise that would give me the most bang for my buck?

The reason I wanna trade the ECU is to get a more aggressive fuel mixture, the stock chip seems to reach a cut off range at the higher RPMs.

I always thought that the fwd turbo ecus had a more agressive map from the factory then the gsx's.

I'd just fix all the issues and sell it stock. Fyi 97 gst's around me sell in the 3-5k range w/ those miles.

thats what I was thinking, but I just wanted to know if I could increase the cars value by doing some after market upgrades, (more for fun and the experience than anything) but I didn't want it to be a loosing venture.

Any suggestions on a aftermarket clutch? anyone have any experience with those cheapy ebay clutches? (XTR and XTD)
