In response to In response to 19

You guys have actually given me exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping to start a debate relative to my situation with people who know their 420s. That is exactly what has happened--well done boys.

Is it my understanding then, that the reason a turbo is so unreliable on a 420A is that the additional heat generated by the turbo can melt the internals--that the 420A engine was not designed for that, but that switching out the internals for forged, along with keeping the car in good tune, could produce reliability and fun mentioned above? Is that the case? And finally, since I have not driven a 5sp NA Eclipse with say 170HP, is it really that much of a dog?
