Thanks jamez

1.- Crank walk is only found to happen on 2nd gen, 4g63 engines, which were factory turbocharged. We use the Chrysler motor, wich is all non turbo from the factory.

2.- The 420A motor is pretty damn strong, but the weakest links are first the pistons, then the rods. For safe boost limits on stock internals, I would not push much more than 250 HP, or for a Hahn kit S16G turbo, no more than 8 psi, or a Star kit turbo, no more than 7-8psi.

3.-besides Hahn and Star, the only other route to take would be to put together your own custom setup. S16G and T3/T4 turbos are very popular for these motors, make good street power, and spool up pretty quick. You can use almost any small/medium sized turbo from any car really, but finding a exhaust manifold to fit the turbo is the hard part. This is where it becomes more custom..

4.- unless you have gobs of time and money, don't bother swapping in any other motor than the 420A, or the 2.4 chrysler motor...Do more searching, you will find every single answer as to why you dont want to swap in a turbo Mitsu 4g63 motor..

Do more searching, and do more reading. You would be very surprised how much you can learn just by going back through old topics, esp ones that have been discussed on more than one occasion..
