One of my friends who does tons of custom turbos told me the same thing about the Eclipse turbo. He says he could do it for about $500, but I dont' have the time to leave him with my car.

yeah, you can use any turbo you want. But you'd have to make sure it would fit in the engine bay, and then get a custom manifold made.

you can find turbos for $500 or even cheaper.. but there's no way he'll turbo charge your car for $500 bucks. It would cost more than that to even get all the other parts you need.
