I thought you had a turbo eclipse thats why oh damn.

I recomend anything you can get your hands on. As long as you stick to good known name brands you should be ok. eGay is a no go so just stay away from it!

well its not much of a fast car either. First thing i say check the compression, or keep an eye out for signs of a bad head gasket cuz the 420a engine is known for those. And its tough to make them much faster than it is right now without a turbo.
