sr turbo acts like stock turbo??

[rubbersidedown]

i have a 1gen Eclipse GSX. I don't have a FMIC but i do have a sidemount intercooler.. just like the rest of the turbo eclipses do.. stock. They also come w/ a stock BOV... Although i don't have a turbo timer (i will soon though) i still let my car idle a while after i run it hard. I don't have a boost controller because i don't have use for one at the moment. When you push the boost on the stock turbo then that's when you start putting serious strain on it. (don't take that last sentence out of context) But i think i can help w/ the SR question. All turbos are not created equally, but the stock turbo on an SR is generally made to handle everyday abuse. Just pay attention to your car and do the general maintanance.. you know, make sure you have enough coolant, change your oil regularly, check your belts and hoses. Its kind of like taking care of any other oridinary car, just don't missinterpret what i'm saying and go overboard on the whole thing. If you want a lot more boost (probably around 18psi +) you should just get a bigger turbo. I don't feel like explaining it all but i'm sure you get the general idea. Just take care of your car and pay attention when it acts odd.
