He didnt rebuild the engine or anything, he upgraded the clutch like 2months ago, he's running stock axles and everything else, but like i said the kit comes with everything from down pipe, manifold, intercooler, to a fuel pump an injectors.

I have been looking at that brand for turbo kits and they have stage 1 and stage 2 last time I checked. Does he have stage 2?

Where did you get the hahnsmotorsport turbo kit from? Just did a search and nothing comes up.

I have a friend that wants to turbo his 96 eclipse and we have been looking for a kit .

Any suggestions to some complete kits?

dropin a turbo into a non turbo car is fun for a while but you will eventualy lose compression in you engin and make alot of mechanical bills for yourself. the best thing to do is go with supercharging a car because your supercharger is producing more power from teh begining and you dont have to wait for your turbo to kick in.... superchargers are also alot better for your engine because there not running the same kind of boost...therefor you will have you engine for alot longer then you would with a turbo...upgradin your already turbo engine is fine.
