Default Galant VR-4 Stock Turbo?

I'm looking for a Mitsu turbo and I happened to stumble across a '93 Galant VR-4 Turbo. Does anyone know what size this turbo is or anything else about it? I've searched all over and can't find JACK.

Gvr4's are ultra rare...

i'm a complete idiot........i was thinking about 3000 gt vr4's

sorry

the first fast import i ever saw was a fricken galant vr4.

like 5 years ago, i was at the track, just spectating, i had just bought my civic, rocking dual point, etc.

this totally stock looking galant pulls up. had SMOKED black windows (to hide the cage, etc)

just had sone black 5 spoke wheels. the thing launched amazingly , and ripped off an 11.1 @ some crazy MPH.

all the little import dorks like me that were there were instantly not in love with altezza's or neons anymore. we wanted to go fast. it blew me away.

Those galant vr4's are wicked little cars. A guy I know was selling one in good shape for $5k, man did I sure want to buy it!!

They can and will DESTROY just about anything off the line...

you bastard

I've been on the mission to find one of these now, it would make a great DD. There are NONE in my area... Not an easy find, even harder to find one that was not dogged by a teenager...

If you were at NOPI in STL like 3-4 years ago then I was there also and seen the black GVR-4 tinted windows looked like a POS but we all knew what it was and yeah it fucked **** up. I would love to own one.

A kid had one here in town and we all went crazy but he never knew what he had but wrecked it "DUI" Whatta waste.

Yeah 14b turbo same as eclipse 5-speed.

just had sone black 5 spoke wheels. the thing launched amazingly , and ripped off an 11.1 @ some crazy MPH.

He's currently running 8's in this evo.....

That's a sick video. I don't know how the fvck he does not break axles every launch, and gear shift! wow.

On a side note, I recently sold my Conquest, red just like in that pic. That's also one fun car
