I'm going to start making this a default post for all the 2GNT posts I come across.
I was once like you. I had a 95 Eclipse RS. I put a huge spoiler on the car (terminator II: whale tail edition) and I wanted to turbo it (hahn). I joined tampabay DSM and started my research on turboing a 2GNT.
Six months of research later I came to the conclusion that a turbo kit for my 2GNT would cost more than a 92 Laser AWD I had my eye on.
On September 9, 2002, I bought a 92 Laser AWD (VIRGIN stock, 128,000 miles) for $2500 from a used car salesman (you know the type). A little later, I sold the 2GNT for $3900. To that day, I have been MUCH happier with the car I drive.
I know it's hard to leave a car stock, but waiting for a deal on a 4G63T car is well worth it.
I share my experience with you hoping you might get something out of it. A nice 4G63 DSM
