My first turbo car

1990 eclipse gsx. Had an upgraded TD05(H?)turbo, spiral header (ugh), and upgraded 12v fuel system. Made really decent power even though the power and was meh. Had it about 3 months before I made the executive decision to sell it before I killed myself.
Had a full 3” turbo back from magnaflow that was loud as hell.
Bought it in 2012 for $1200 with 143,xxx miles on it. If I had it today I probably would have kept it. The interior was immaculate except for a couple cracks on the dash.
That’s super cool you were able to get in on it when it was still relevant.
I forgot that I also found the PDA tuner for it when I went through the car. Can’t remember what it did, but the people over at dsmtuners were helpful.
My biggest issue I had with the car was that it kept blowing oil out the dipstick if I hit full boost.
There’s just something about these cars that keeps bringing me back. I’m sure I’ll get another eventually and I’ll have the money to work on it this time.
