And at the time, did'nt have the $$$ to rebuild it, so I sold it and bought a cavalier.
That got me back and forth until I traded it in and got my truck.
I still have my truck, and my Eclipse is my experiement.
Funny thing though, i;ve been driving it more than the truck.
5.4ltr triton gas mileage = OMG WTF LOL 13mpg city, on a good day i get 17 hgwy

RE: going turbo need help!!!
well, i will disagree with all of you. i got a full turbo kit and headers and everything from ebay at xspower.com i got it about 12 months ago, i have run the hell outta of it... it sounds amazing and spools great! it is a good turbo kit. i have put 50000 miles on it and it still runs like a champ! the turbo has absolutely no play in it at all... i would have to say, not ALL products on ebay may be good. but my stuff worked out great! i payed 600$ for all my stuff. maybe i am just a fluke... but i know ebay stuff is not as good as the REAL thing... but it worked awesome for me and i was very pleased. especially for the price!!my 16g starts spooling at 1900 rpms in 5th gear and it is at a full 15psi by 3100rpms...and if i stomp on it at 3000rpm, i am at full boost by 3400-3500rpm. it is very minimal turbo lag... i am happy! =)

um. . . B.S. CARD!!!!!! no way on the face of this green earth are you running 10's in your car where a turbo is at full spool at 3100rpm's unles your spraying. i would NEVER put an ebay turbo on my car!! one blade shreds while spooling and gets into your intake? and goodbye engine. now ay i'd ever risk that. ALSO you say you are running 15lbs??? and have been doing it for 50k miles? well my friend what kind of pistons, and rods did you go with? b/c stock rings fry at 9-10psi, and you'll crack a piston at 12-13psi.

RE: going turbo need help!!!
i never said i was running 10's i said that i call b.s. on the whole crappy ebay turbo's thing. also, you can't call B.S. on me running 15psi in a 1998 eclipse gst... and i do have enuff supporting mods to run that. next time ask questions before you call B.S. sorry... i was only trying to get across the point that not all ebay turbo products are bad... i would in no way suggest him to run at 15psi... on a 420a stock motor... nor would i ever say HE could possibly get in the 10's. without EXTREME modification... especially with a "dodge neon" haha i am just saying, if ya wanna up yer power a bit then an ebay turbo kit imho... would not be that bad of an idea, espicially for the price and especially as a starter kit.
MY CAR-
1998 eclipse gst
16g evoIII turbo, ported and clipped
ported dump pipe
downpipe
3inch catback exhaust
injen intake with a k&n filter
greddy bov
manual boost controller set to 15 psi.
and a new centerforce clutch
and whatever the person did to the car before i bought it (because it was modified and he removed some of the modified parts... thats just what i put on it.

1 you never said you were running in a GS-T.... the reason i assumed that you were running a 420a is b/c both tubokits that you listed without any kind of explanation are both for the 420a.
