It's not gonna be a direct bolt on. Plan to spend more on top of the 500 bucks for the turbo. It can be done though, I think the guy's screen name is RxR Eclipse.

The GSX has a mitsubishi motor...you have a Dodge motor. I think you won't be able to use the exhaust manifold, downpipe, and maybe some other stuff. The turbo, BOV, and some other stuff might be usefull if you want to do a custom turbo setup...but I'm not sure about that either. The only complete turbo systems availiable for our cars are HRC, Star, and NER.

just go to the turbo section, there are people that done that but most say that 14b is a better custom system from the 1g eclipse then the t25 from the 2g eclipse. hope this helps

You won't be able to install ANY of it, not without custom work. the manifold is useless, chunk it, it won't fit and doesn't weld well. if it's a T25 turbo (2g) chunk it, it's a POS, they're useless. If it's a 2G BOV, chunk it, they leak.
For what you'd end up spending to custom fab a 2gT turbosystem onto a 2gnt, you'be be better off buying a stage 1 and calling it a day.

tis true what darkone sez
one of the greatest advantages to turboing a 2gnt with a kit is that you get quality racing parts already put on. So where you start off turbo is where the turbo DSMs are trying to get to. External wastegate, big ass turbo, fat downpipe, external wastegate manifold, etc.... These are all things that turbo DSMers are trying to acquire and you get it it in one install they have all these extra parts left over and such, so they've got an extra turbo system lying around.
The T25 is an ok turbo but it tiny, it generates a lotta torque/power at 3k but past 3k is where the fun ends it's all HP and no torque from there on. With a turbo kit your power will be way more in the topend.
check out hahn's site they've got good info on why to buy their kits.
