vafc isn't a long term solution with all the money you saved, you should at least get something a little better.

No they're not. I've owned a 95 Eclipse and a 94 3000GT VR4 and both of the engines didn't last past 150K. Mitsubishi engines are ****. And with Mitsu engines...it's not like one thing goes wrong at a time and it can be fixed....everything goes wrong at the same time. I'm never owning a Mitsu again....

I'd have to disagree....

....Mitsu tv's last a long time. I've got a 80' something 50 projector tv. Still works great.

And less that 1K for a turbo kit is great too.

65" Mitsu HD over here...awsome TV

I think the S-AFC is fine for fuel purposes...a D-TEC would work too and you wouldn't have to worry about keeping a potentialy theft meganet visible in the car.

I think FMU's are the only "bad ideas" nowadays.

so if you had two identical turbo's, same brand, etc.. one was for 300 and the other was sold for 200.. would the 200 dollar kit be shittier? i beg to differ...

its called budget building, try it sometime. not every 2000+ dollar kit is promised to "work perfectly"...

I'd like to see some pics. If it all works, this might be the way to go for my EP.
