How could I get a turbo from a 1st gen Mitsubishi eclipse to work on a Foxbody with either a 5.0L or 5.8L engine in it?

Thanks.

You'll need two of them...and even then there on the small side.

All the info you need is over on www.turbomustangs.com

They are pretty small... if you are going to go through all that work you might as well put some better turbos on.

Go for a holset if single, and t3's with the .48 hot side if twin and mostly stock, and if you have a h/c/i package or a stroker I would go for t3's with the .63 hot side, or maybe some t3/t4 hybrids, the smaller mitsu turbos would be too small for these engines, they would be spooling all the time and prolly get burnt up fast.
