Stock Turbo, is it from Mitsu??

[boricua]

I went to walmart 1 day and i ran into this guy, stating that he has a pretty fast car, a mitsubishi eclipse, i think a 01 model, he stated that he is the fastest guy in the east coast and he has over 500 bhp to his mitsu, he did an engine swap, took a v-6 startus engine, and running propane gas????, he also stated ( after we got into another discussion) that the stock turbo its not made from mitsubishi, its a t-garret turbo, he said his name is Eric Masters, someone please tell me if this guy is lying out of his a$$

the 01 model eclipse uses one of two engines. an 2.4 liter I-4 and a 3.0 liter v6. the 2.4 engine is essentially the dodge stratus engine. i can't recall if the v6 is a dodge or not though. in any case, there is no turbo on those cars. they stopped turboing the eclipse after the '99 model yr. if he was referring to the turbo on OUR cars then he is wrong. our turbo is a mitsubishi TDO4LR-16Gk turbocharger. also, i can guarantee that he is not the fastest guy on the east coast. if he just means street form than maybe but i doubt that as well.

First off, this is the wrong forum

2nd of all. An 01 Eclipse was available with a 3.0 V6 that is MITSU made.......but can also be found in the 01-04 Stratus R/T.

3rd of all, he's an idiot, don't believe him.
