Need Turbo!!! Should have waited!

Hello everyone, just want to say...i wish i would have waited like 6 more months and got a 951! I just rode in my buddies 90' eclipse turbo with upped boost, it feels awesome, and im sure a 951 is quicker, especially with a little mods. Well, someday right! Happy Holidays!

Was this eclipse a GSX? I have run dead nuts a few different times with the stock GSX! As for your turbo idea, I wish I would have waited too. But there's always conversions, hehehe. Or you could always get a supercharger, although I personally will argue that turbos are way way way better (plus they have the cooler sounds)! Turbos are also more effiecent, but they don't make power as early as a supercharger.

No it was just a GST, what do you mean you ran dead nuts? Like a good race, finishing close? With a 944 n/a? I know his could SMOKE my car BAD! So what is this conversion? Does someone sell it? Ive never heard of a conversion kit, maybe getting a turbo car and completely swapping everything out but thats pointless. Where are these? Thanks

Most of the diesel engines I've been around have turbos, and I must say I fricken love the sound of a turbo spooling up. Diesels w/o turbos are just sick.
