if you are going for a turbo, it is probably already wise to go and give your motor a nixe christmas present. By this ofcoarse i mean you should probably invest in getting your cylinders bored and new performance pistons, etc etc. All that will increase your engines life with the turbo and make it perform better even before installation BEFORE the turbo. Its wise to upgrade most of the parts, becuase all the stock parts arent meant to handle the stress a turbo can put on it. Always to be safe than sorry and get everything looked over and upgraded so that the turbo will go on fine, and most of all, perform to is maximum abilities.
not to mention... you wont blow up or kill your engine or something going from first to second gear becuase you didnt know about a fault with your engine's timing, cylinders, or a poor spark from your plugs.
My 2 cents. Hope that helps you out a little bit. BTW what kit are you getting? Just interested is all

my friend has a whole turbo set up with just about everything i need off of his SRT-4. the turbo has like 10,000 miles on it and the kid is nuts and wants more power so he said everything off of his car so either that or the hahn racecraft or chill- factory or i might look into a turbo setup for an eclipse and get a new maniflod

The stock pistons and rods can handle about 225 ft-lbs torque. Above that, rods have a tendency to bend and pistons have a tendency to crack. Quite frankly, if this is your first turbo, leave the stock internals in there for now. This will give you time to play around and learn how to tune the setup. Eventually you're either going to push things too far and have to replace the internals (or just a stock block if you're short on cash), or you're going to find that the power is addictive and upgrade the internals anyways. So start saving nw for the pistons, rods, rings, and machine shop work. If you have the option, get the bigger turbo so you won't have to upgrade that...
Best of luck!

well you would have to run premium w/ the newer mopar PCM but wouldnt make it self destruct unless you used the stock injectors and pump to where it was leaning out too much. The PCM would recognize the upgrades and adjust accordingly but if your fuel system was s/u for only so much fuel consumption of course it would be a bad idea. Cars w/ out regulation on so much fuel is also a bad idea...upgrading fuel components to where the cylinders are oversprayed will only cause too much build up and will have nowhere to go and when it ignites will cause problems too...thats why some stock ECUs need reflashing or upgrades. Too many mods work against it. This happened w/ my sentra...it was fun for a while and then boom sitting in my garage broken. your best bet is the programmable stand alone like mega squirt... And anyhow if the torque band is past the 215 mark it will stretch the connecting rods.... w/ stock components which could be the problem it could be the reason most ppls engines self destructed, w/ boosting over 6-8 psi.............which is why tuning is an important factor. And engine kits are a good idea if investing in a turbo.
