It is near perfect! We're starting with a rear swaybar as it'll help touch up the minor understeer under aggressive cornering.

If you don't mind my asking, how many miles did you have and about what did the dealer give for your 99. Trying to get rid of mine to get my evo.

I had almost 80k on my eclipse, it was in decent enough condition and still ran great. Because I was upside down almost 10k in my eclipse, they had to work the numbers a bit to get me into the evo at sticker. Your dealer may or may not work out the same deal for you.

a turbo timer is a good first mod - that way you don't have to wait for the turbo to spool down whenever you get to where you're going.

if you're like me and don't mind that wait so much, you can do a manual boost controller (or electronic, if you've got the money) and a boost gauge - this way you can keep watch on your amount of boost (and keep an eye out for 'boost spikes') while running more consistant boost pressure using the controller.

no matter what you do, have fun!

the turbo timer doesnt spool down the turbo..... the timer lets the engine run to get the oil threw the lines so it doesnt get hot and bake on the lines when stoped from a hard run. But regardless some ppl just like to know why they put these parts on and what they do exaclty ...this is a good first mod. Saves life of turbo via oil circulation.
