sppol boy mod is modifying the fuel pump adding a extraline for fuel return..

whats wrong with the dohc engine? keep the trans from the 95 use the whole engind and swith over the wiring harnes as the 95 is wored differently then the 98.. also need a ecu from a 98 for a mtx... youll need a clutch for a 98 also.. wont matter the trans as they are all the same to 2000. mid 2000 the went to a hyralic clutch. what i wanna know is are you doing the srt4 turbo setup or this one....

you cant use the head from a eclipse... the head is backwards from a regular eclipse(if i remember correctly) the blocks are the same though.. a dohc head on a sohc bottom end i think lowers the compression(been awhile) and dohc pistons with a sohc head raises compression...... and if you use srt4 injctors get the stage 1s right away as they will be a little easier to get to idle right with the aem regulator

ok well why not use a missing link? isnt it easier and cheaper? how much is a voltage clamp? and you wouldnt be selling that modded fuel pump would you?

no i actually up graded that to different fittings and such and used it in my car..... their both simple to install. the missing link stops the map sensor from seeing boost.. the voltage clamp is just that stops the ecu from registering boost and freaking out. wires to your map sensor and stop the map from seeing over 5 volts...

in my opinion its one less part to fail in the turbo plumbing.. thats my .02 but i never said the missing link wnt work.... if you find one cheap use it. but honestly with a little reading you could go full ms for the price of a full fuel system using the rrfpr
