EDIT: Found the mag and snapped some pics, some text might be a little cut off, tried to get as much as I could in the pic:

thats pretty cool
I am sure he would have been able to squeeze out more then 220whp and still keep it that stealth.. doin some internal work maybe

I know that this is a somewhat old post, but it got me thinking. HEHE, has anybody done anything like this or thought about doing anything like this? I would love to see it done, I might try it. I just need the stock intake and piping and a custom heat shield. The other thing that I would need would be the little box that the cruise control sits in, it could hide the sfmu. What does everyone think?

its a little harder with our turbo location, doesnt sit down under the header like the civic does.

If you go with the extremely cheap theme you could bolt a 14b I think it is to the stock manifold (only 2 bolts line up) and then you have the stock heatsheild and the rest should be easy. Its harder to make an Eclipse a sleeper though since there are factory turbo models... So if you smoke anyone they'll just assume thats what you have and it won't be nearly as impressive.

I was thinking about just extending the manifold that I ordered and making it go down just a little ways and put the collector on it there. The I could use a stock heatshield. I think it would be just as impressive though because when they look uder the hood they wouldn't see anything that would tip them that you have a turbo. Plus it helps when you have the stock 14 inch rims and the black door handles and mirrors. You could also use a quiet bov, like recirculate the stock 1g. I just think that it would be a nice set up.

It's final I am doing it. My friend is going to give me his stock manifold and intake and I am going to hide the sfmu under a black box like where the cruise control goes so it wont look suspicious. Only thing that I really need is a way to block off the a/c hoses and take it out, then get a smaller belt for the power steering. Anybody know right off hand, what size belt that is? Anyway will post pics when finished.

I'm anxious to see if you get it finished.

I found my stock air intake system last night. All I need now is the mani and the pipes.
