gsx turbo on d17

i was thinking about tearing a eclipse gsx turbo and its parts from a junkyard (obviously paying ) but even tho i know it can be done because with money anything can be done... i was just wondering how practical this is, i asked my teacher and he said about finding out if id need new injectors or ecu and stuff oh and he said something about checking the boost curve and comparing these things to turbos on the market for my car

allmotor can only hope to improve
check out homemadeturbo.com. You can go custom and actually save alot of money going to junkyards and if u have a good fuel system ur kit tuned would be very practical

inline pump and FMU will work, or emanage with upgraded injectors

also, the GSX is just a T25 turbo. So just search for that on ebay. The T25 can be found on a ton of cars, even the newer mazdaspeed protege has it.

Keep in mind it's a watercooled turbo, so you will need to look up some extra plumbing

Hack the radiator hose up with 2 T fittings, feed and return.

use the coolant lines that run to the throttle body. Run it through the TB then through the turbo and back.
