Default Turbo questions

Alright guys and gals I have a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS with a 1997 body fit I have the body work there and teh materials to do it but I have many questions about my choices of Turbo's to choose. The engine is not original it is from a Eagle Talon I beleive a 95. The belts and specks fit a 2.0 DOHC engine but I havent called the dealer yet with my block number which would truely annswer taht for me. I dont need to fast but I need fast enough for 11 at the track and the looks of course for show I already have the coal over springs on the vehicle. And the engine runs great know that it is wired properly. I do have the K&N airfilter in the car as well but I did hook up the belt for my Powerstearing. It is still in the range of a project car but I had a sharp honda I lost and this will be up to par preety quick. I will post my pics tonight on my profile. Well peace for know. And hope to here back from some of you soon.
Eric.

Doesn't matter what car the engine is from, they are all the same.
It's going to run you around $4000 to turbo a 420A.
You can run a turbo on a stock 420A, but no more than 8psi. Not enough to matter.
Unless you want the experience of working on the car, don't do it. Sell the car, and buy a GST or GSX.
I am going to do it myself, but, I want the experience.

Like they said you can do a cheap turbo upgrade on it but you will only be looking at about the same 1/4 as a stock GST. and you will spend about 3k for that. If you want more then youll be looking at about 5k to get some decent power. Then you could spend about 10k and have a built motor and good HP. But again thats alot to spend. Its all on the money you have and what your willing to spend. The 420a is capable but expensive to build
