I don't want to seem like o much of a nube but what is "dsm". Will It hurt the engine if i get a tubro from say "http://www.turbo-kits.com/eclipse_turbo_kits.html" the 1 for my car and put it on. then get a header and exhaust kit.

RE: Hey I need Some advise!!
if your gonna get put a turbo on that car plan on spending alot of money. The kit shown in that link is the best for a 420a but thats not all your gonna need either if you want more out of it. That kit will only get you about 200hp i think. It may be a bit more. But to get more your gonna need more boost. And to do that, its means new internals and better tuning. I dont know what else comes in that kit, but remeber that still doent have everything. All said and done, id say plan on around 5k total. So its either that or save up and keep this car for now, then buy a turbo car. youll be much better off. But thats just my opinion
and for the DSM meaning. Just a very short desc. Its a colaboration that happened between chysler and mitsubishi from 1990-1993 which they combined to be named Daimond(crysler) Star(mitsubishi) Motors

Here's a small tidbit of DSM history.
Technically, the 1Gs cars and Galant VR4's were made in the plant during the DSM time frame, so those two are really the only DSMs, but they're not as per enthusiasts. Also note that the 4g63 was in the EVO 1-3 before DSM, so it can't be the motor that is associated with the DSM name...but it is since the 2G are considered a DSM by motor AND plant association. The 2G is really an MMC car and the Galant VR4 isn't considered a DSM half the time, but it is. Nothing is concrete as you can see because it's the enthusiasts that say yay or nay. The more hardcore DSM'er considers the 1G, 2G, GVR4 a DSM. My Avenger is made in Normal, Illinois plant but it's not a DSM and it's not considered one even with the 4g63 and awd in it (doesn't matter to me really, lol).
This is just what I've seen and read on a lot of DSM boards, unless a rep from Mitsubishi comes out and states what is a DSM, it's up to us to define what a DSM is

RE: Hey I need Some advise!!
the real DSM (90-93) cars have DSM plastered all over the stickers on the doors and under the hood, the rest dont, whats that say about it
if you want a turbo, its much easier to buy one thats already turbo, its expensive either way you go to have whistly vaccum cleaner parts attached to your engine
