Rep Power: 0 I've never seen an eclipse turbo, but i would assume it's kinda big. From what I understand, we didn't get a Jackson Supercharger was because our engine bay is too small, I would assume the engine bay is too small for the eclipse turbo too. Then again, like everyone say, if you got the greens, anything is possible. Like you said yourself "then it's just a matter of doing the extra mods..." but at what cost?
I am not sure about the chip thing, but I think the reason LX doesn't par up with EX is because LX is non-vtec and EX is.
I am not 100% sure on either of my answers, correct me if I am wrong.

Rep Power: 0 The header/cat/downpipe setup on the HX is different from the EX.....the HX is designed more for fuel efficiency, and is not as easily modifiable in terms of performance as the EX is.
