thought gs eclipse but ended up gs turbo!
So me and my dad run a used car dealership and i bought a car for myself to fix and sell. I got it from an online dealers salvage auction. I thought it was just a 91 gs eclipse. It's a clean title with 53000mi. So I drive 4 1/2 hours to culpeper va to pick it up. I get in it to move it on to the truck and I look at the gauges and to my surprise I see a boost gauge. So I thought to myself, "this isn't supposed to be a turbo." So I get out and check under the hood and there it was the td05 turbo. I about pissed my pants I was so excited. It's not hit that hard, just the bumper, hood, headlights, and radiator, which I have all of the parts. I don't think i'm going to sell it now. I think i'm going to keep it.

Dude ! your luck is like mine with my cordia !
i didnt know it was turbo, until after i handed the bottle of scotch, that i saw a turbo timer and the standard boost gauge on the dash.. although the turbo was blown, and now rebuilt. the wastegate is set at 14 pound when i got it, and i though, its got a 2.25 inch exhaust, til when we put it on the trailer, my mate pointed out, that, heh, 3 inch from cat back ! woo woo !
