someone mentions in another thread about putting that on the msp..whats the specs on it? more hp, fit stock manifold stock d/p? thanks for all the info.
here is one i found on ebay

Well it is definitely a MUCH more capable turbo. I currently have one on my Eclipse GSX (although I am swapping to a bigger turbo this winter). It is a Mitsubishi turbo, and so uses a Mitsu exhuast flange, so no it will not bolt up to the stock manifold. It is an unbelievably great turbo though! It spools about the same as a 14-b turbo (a couple hundred RPM's later) and can make up to (maybe more) 400 AWHP. I made 307 AWHP on my first trip to the dyno coming from no tune at all and with a 100% stock head (no cams, etc). I ran 23 PSI daily on the street and reached that by 3500 at the latest. It is a proven mid 11 second turbo on a heavy a$$ awd DSM. It is definitely not a turbo if you have light mods. To properly use it, you should have: exhaust, FMIC (and all piping), upgraded fuel (pump, injectors, AFPR, maybe lines, etc), EMS, wideband, etc, etc. So ya, you would need a new manifold (if one even exists) and all supporting mods to even think of using it. Hope this helps.

Oh, and also, I just checked the link, and that is NOT a Mitsubishi made turbo. It is a cheap knock off most likely. And I believe they say it to be a big 16g, not and Evo III. The difference between them is a big 16g will flow about 38 lbs/min or so, while and Evo III has flown as much as 44 lbs/min.

Here is what a real Evo III looks like (exactly the same as a small/big 16g as well):

im thinking about getting another engine soon to build up..so i might just have a manifold and downpipe made for the evo turbo...

Well if you do, like I said, it is one of the best (if not the best) street turbo's for a 2 liter. But you will definitely need a stronger motor to really take advantage of it. Also, the t28 is a comparable turbo (all though the Evo outperforms it in about every category you can think of) and you won't have to worry about having a new manifold/downpipe made. I would say just find out exactly what you want to do with the car (power, money, reliability, etc) and go from there. Good luck with whatever you go with.
 
im sure a T25R rebuilt by MPINick would give you all the power your built motor needs. 300WHP is pretty nuts man I doubt you would need more. There are people putting down over 250WHP on the stocker. Even with those power levels you need to start looking into other issues first like a Quiffe LSD and a stronger clutch if you beat on the car.

On a built-for-racing car, 300 whp is not enough in my opinion. Street car...definitely. 300 is enough to beat just about any car that comes your way (especially on the highway) while still plenty able to daily drive it on the street. Reliability and breaking things are certainly issues, as mentioned, so I think I would have a back up car if I was to pursue this.
 
yea i think i gonna go start building it for a street car but my brother just got a local constuction company to sponsor his mustang and he mentioned my car too. the guy wants to see it..so it might become a full race car..maybe like autox or drag..
