Default i need some insite

this is the deal, im getting a 97eclipse RS next week and Im not going to drive it for about three months and in those three months im going to restore the body and also my friend's friend is hopefully going to help turbo it, but what ive seen with a few other peoples eclipse's is that they always have somthing wrong with them when ever they start putting in go-fast parts and such. so what im trying do is get some insite of what other people have done when they installed there turbos and what problems they have had and how i can prevent those problems from happening to me.

-thanks-

ebay for parts does not equal a fast car
for the 420a engine i would recommend you visit http://hahnracecraft.com/
actually you need to call them and talk to them directly about your plans so they can put you in the right direction

Why do people do this time after time. If your going to be waiting 3 months, why not save a little more money and get a real performance car, i.e gst/gsx. Far more potential than any 420a can ever see without even opening the vavle cover.
