Hey my friend has an RS eclipse and he has a used T-25 turbo but he doesnt know where to get the parts that would fit on his car,(exhuast manifold piping etc.) I know it's possible to install the turbo but do u guys know where to get the parts that would fit. I told him to get HRC or Star but he just want something simple and cheap, not too much cuz hes really into looks. If you guys could help I would appreciate it.

Others here will certainly be able to point him in the direction of a company that can make him an exhaust manifold, and piping. Certainly, he can pick up a turbo on thepartstrader.com or whatever.

You should tell your friend however that the true test to a good turbosystem is the fuel setup. That must be emphasized as 90% of the setup. Even companies that attempt to setup a good fuel system have had some complications. He should be very wary before taking on this task. Some have done it successfully here, but I would note their success is a tribute to their turbocharging ingenuity. It is a daunting task.

The T-25 requires coolant lines as well as oil lines. This certainly will not be an easy task for the typical hobbyist or weekend modifier.

Caveat Emptor!! ("buyer beware")
