Hey, WAD. I've found DIM's timeslip.
=====================================
Here's a blast from the past. I have DIM's slip (printed copy from Mitch and Solar's site). I can't remember his mods then. I'm quoting his typing. He can verify its truth.
==========================
"Just in 2/2/01 the first day of the drags and they let me run with a cracked windshield.
RT: .897
60': 2.188
1/8 mile: 10.512 @ 64.048
1/4 mile: 16.655 ~~> approx 15.955 at sea level
1/4 mph: 80.726
Elevation: 3500~3600
Temp: 45 F
I had more weight in my car than last time (empty NOS bottle and strut tower bar). I actually got a good start as opposed to my one run before. I think there was a VHT on the track cause I hit that 2.18 60' with stock 14" yoko (abr.) tires that are almost completely bald. The cold weather definately helped out too. The only mod that would help out for power that I made since last time was a homemade 'ram-air" scoop where the foglight used to be.'
===============================
This looks like before his cam install and weight saving spree. If correct, just intake and exhaust.

I was told that you need a stand alone fuel management system when you put a turbo system on. Does anybody now if that is true? I got hold of a turbo and was going to put it on my car. I also know someone who has 98 or 99 eclipse gts turbo charged. It is wrecked and I thought about buying it and maybe using parts off of it for my car. I have to check into that. I once read that they used a turbo from second gen eclipse on a Lancer. Let me know if anybody knows if that is true.

You don't need a stand alone ecu to run TC. You do need bigger injectors and some sort of AFC to control A/F ratio.
The 2g eclipse runs a T25 Garrett. Yes, you can run it. The 1g runs a slightly bigger TC but Mitsu's design. Basically, you have to fabricate Mitsu style flanges than Garrett, which is near universally in flange design by everyone else.

Thanks Bahamut
I'll see what I can read from this. The 60 is already way better, but last I ran my 1/8th with a higher MPH around 10.7-10.9. I had terrible 60's that day too since the track had been wet earlier. WE did not get to run the full 1/4.
Seems like the 15's are right there. Next time I get the run I'll see.

Yeah that was probably me, I frequent Super Target and that little pizza joint next to it, it's the bomb. You must have seen her on a good day, I have been sooo busy it hasn't been washed as much as I would like!
