Wanting a short and sweet answer about performance upgrades - Club4G Forum : Mitsubishi Eclipse 4G Forums - 2006-2012 Eclipse Authority

brum · June 12th, 2011, 02:41 AM

After getting most of the cosmetic upgrades for my Eclipse, I'm wanting to upgrade my 2006 GT performance wise. I'm wondering what should be the order of upgrades I should purchase for better performance. I'm getting a CAI ASAP, but what should I buy after that?

A simple list such as CAI-HEADERS-etc would suffice.

And a supercharger will probably be on the lower end priority wise, due to it being around $2000.00 and me not having that type of money at the moment.

Thanks!

He has a Gt. Just work on the simple I/E/H and then work to the other bolt ons and then the a tune and you should be happy for a while.

X2^^^^^ WTH man r on crack?

brum · June 14th, 2011, 02:39 AM

hah, this post is still going?

Anyway, was just speaking about the supercharger as in a blower, not the entire kit, but yeah I realize that I would need the entire kit if I wanted the supercharger to work well without any (major) errors.

But yeah, I've done research, thanks for the replies.

LOLZ.

You got the cheap one. For two more dollars it comes with an order form for the new MAF you'll need.
