found a mitsubishi turbo...any good?

[brokenheadz2003]

i was at the junkyard today and found a turbo from a mitsubishi starion...its real small but will it work
... are parts easily found for them and how much boost can they produce?

[Jeremy]

you wont be able to get the boost under 9psi, even with an external gate.

Don't go cheap on the turbo it will bite you in the ass.

thats good i wanna run like 15...where can i get a rebuild kit for it?

[S.Bretz]

DOn't waste your time and money on that turbo.

[brokenheadz2003]

so that turbo aint worth it i assume....
i guess ill hafta save more and get a T3 right?

b/s i am goin to be running a 14b on my saty (my stock turbo on my 1st gen eclipse) i think the r really good turbos and they can hold good boost id look into rebuilding that starion turbo man no sense on wasting money on a new turbo when you have one you can rebuild for a 100 bucks if that

[Jeremy]

No, it may work semi nicely on a DSM but it wont work for us very well.

Search the forums newb.

I mainly mean the age and the wear of the turbo and all the piping.
