MAP has discounted labor rates this time of year.

That's interesting. The performance shops are opposite of regular garages--most shops are much busier during cold weather.

That works for me, I've got stuff to get done.

So DB told me if i get it there they will look at it for free which is a plus and i have a friend who wants to buy the turbo and will pay to get it taken out if he can have it so that's another plus. I have been working on the inside of the car now and notice that i have 2 fuses missing and i dont have the cap for my fuse box so that's kind of a problem. If anyone has a 95 eclipse that they could send me a picture of that would be great. Again thanks alot you guys really helped me out

If i were you i would keep the turbo and just do any matinence it needs. The 420a engine has trouble on hills haha i should know i had one. terrible. terrible. That turbo should make it a car thats fun to drive.

See the only reason i was gunna get it taken out was because i thought i couldn't run boost through the engine because that's what i was told. I guess i just gotta bring it in and get all of my facts straight

You can ran boost through your engine just not too much because it's not originally made for it. You can turbo any car, it's just a matter of destroying it at too high of a power level. The cars turboed from the factory (4g63) have stronger rods and pistons designed for boost. Your engine (420a) was not designed for a turbo so has weaker internal components.

Your power steering was deleted so there's no pump or belt I presume? You'll need to bolt it back on and connect it to the hoses to get back power steer.

Seriously, get on dsmtuners and 2gnt and just start reading. That's how I got started and I'm still learning all the time.

Edit: You can't turn the pump pulley or the steering wheel at all?

Make sure its not locked from the column lock when you pull the key out, otherwise if the pump is taken out, you gotta have some muscles to turn the steering wheel cause of the no power assist. If you want the power steering back, I'm sure someone on here has a power steering pump around they would let go for cheap,
