I don't know if its going to hold up with your AWD eclipse just yet, but I have heard there was a guy somewhere up in the pacific northwest that had run a best of 13.1 with his turbo diesel. I'm guessing he had injectors, and I'm sure a stainless head gasket and probably ARP studs too. I still have to install an intercooler before I add more boost.


Right now, Its wastegated at 15lbs, and I can say for sure, 15lbs with this turbo is faster than 25lbs with the stocker, no joke! As the rpms climb it keeps pulling harder, rather than kinda falling off by 4500 rpms like it did with the stock turbo. If you look at the exhaust housing of the stocker, it is a very restrictive design, with more than half the area of the turbine inlet being directed to the waste gate. This is not ideal for any sort of performance or higher than stock boost.

Theres also a couple pics of my new down pipe, its 2-3/4", and next to it is the stocker so you can compare. It really flows well, and the sound is deeper and nice overall.
