Eclipse GST potential?
 
Ok, so a stock GST has roughly 210 (am i right?)... So One of the first upgrades would be BOV and boost controller right? Well first whats a decent boost contorller and where can I get it. But the question is, it has about 210 horsepower with 9-12 PSI? Say its at like 9 PSI, and I turn the boost up to 15. How much HP are we looking at?

just so you are clear....210hp is to the crank. it probably puts somewhere around 180 to the ground.

Cant do the math for that the more boost you add the more hp a lb is worth. Personally I dont think that is a good mod list to start at. Get a intake and exaust first before you raise the boost. Getting the exaust will help your car spool a bit quicker, and give you more top end power. Getting an intake will remove the restrictive air box thats in the way of the turbo. If you do want to get a boost controler. Check ( if I rember correctly) joepmbc.com 45bucks w/o shipping but has a life time warrenty. For the bov get something that you can recirculate(not rfl).

actually stock eclipses dyno around 170 when they are new. kinda sad. anyway who cares about how much more horsepower you get. jus do some upgrades and yo will be faster. horsepower numbers vary all the time anyway between dynoes, temps, elevation etc

well I thought everyone was saying u cant get a cold air intake because of the Turbo being in the way? what would i get then?

there is a difference between a Cold Air Intake for a non-turbo car and an intake for a turboed car. you cannot put a typical CAI on a turboed car, but you can put an aftermarket intake on a turboed car.

Yeah there are plenty of intake options for Eclipses it's all in WHICH engine you have. The intake is obviously going to be INCREDIBLY different due to difference in induction methods.

no one said get a cold air intake. jus get a filter.
