Dynoed at 276 SAE hp to the wheels and 286 SAE ft/lbs torque @19psi. This was with 101 octane. The temptation to increase the boost to 21psi was almost unbearable. But the thought of killing my car quickly relieved this temptation and left me wondering how far could I have pushed her.

Been really lucky, I've only had to replace two broken engine mounts, the master cylinder and clutch slave since upgrading the turbo 3 years ago. I also have been fortunate to see no signs of the dreaded crankwalk!! Phew!

Some of what came off/out of the car at about 40k miles. Ended up selling it for a decent amount on e-bay.

Nice ride, those rims look really good on the 2nd gen eclipse. I would like to see more pictures of the interior. As far as cam work, you should be able to get a mild cam that would keep your idle fine but open up the top end a little more. Check out http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=168531 for feedback about different cams, numbers, etc. You can also go to briancrower.com and see all the cams they have there, but for a moderate cam i would go with the 272/272. Also, check out my ride and let me know what you think.
