That kit won't work, dude. That's an upgrade for a car that is already factory turbocharged. it says so clearly in the write up. ![]()

I had one of the fastest GS Eclipses in the country... however, it was all motor. Here's the link you'll want to check into if you're dying to slap a turbo on your 420A:

Hope this helps you out. Welcome to the boards. ![]()

Hahn is a well respected company. They'll have full documentation of everything you'll need and how to do it, but I'd recommend getting someone with good mechanical know-how to install that kit.
Of course, you'll need to buy the requisite gauges necessary for keeping track of boost and what not unless you're planning on running a manual boost controller.
Go back to the site and read it carefully. It should tell you everything you need to know.

There's a little more to it than just that. You need to know exactly what you're doing so you don't blow it up. Additionally, turbos tend to be very fickle and require lots of tuning to ensure proper HP production.
If you made a turbo setup yourself, that's great. However, I wouldn't recommend that route to everyone.
