    There are a ton more parts than that turbo kit usually offers. because it is probably not complete with injectors, resistor packs, or the other essentials needed to turbo. Search for "turbo build" and you should get a bunch of projects and all the parts.

    Yea, it bolts right up and your set! The dino run is so you have proof with neat graphs to prove how easy it is...

    Serioulsy, a simple Goggle search of "turbo" will teach you more than you know now! Let alone the MASS of information, about your Galant specifically, that can be found on this site.

    And for gods sake post in the correct forum, for instance in our rules section for the 8G Performance Forum;

    "This forum contains PERFORMANCE related Q&A's, such as Intake Systems, Headers, Exhaust, JetChip and any other mod that is not FORCED INDUCTION, including cross drilled rotors / aftermarket rotors and brakes."

    Notice the bold type, "FORCED INDUCTION", that means turbo-charging.



    Check out my project G some time, it has lots of bright and colorful pictures for lazy people who refuse to read on topics that "interest" them. Its like the Highlights For Childrens book of turbo-charging...

    yea deff research im in the same boat... RESEARCH AND RESEARCH more because you never know enough about a turbo

    you really dont need to dyno tune it if you are smart enough and can street tune it for temp use. Do the setup at your house instead of the shop so you know how it really works and so you get more knowledge about it.

    If you are asking this question i dont think you will be able to own a turbo car. there is way more to being turbo'd then you really think. Plan everything out before you think about it, get a parts list of everything that you need, and go from there. You need a lot more then just a turbo, and intercooler and away you go. Ive been planning mine for two years now and still haven't even thought of doing it yet because i can afford everything that i need at the moment. Research Research, and More Research.

    Yeah turbo hurts the wallet. After all 3 engines/setups's I am about $12k into engine/turbo's/manifolds etc. that doesnt include the standalone, suspension, wheels, interior stuff.

    I would be careful when thinking about a kit from Doug's Dynopower. I don't know how their Galant kits stack up, but the two kits for 3G Eclipses are notorious for being of poor quality and lacking many essential parts.
