Very Very good writeup Jack. You should have used black silicone on your oil return. IDK, Im just not a fan of the orange stuff, lol.
Your engine bay is really clean btw.
Looks like its time to get yourself a nice fatty FMIC to fill up that grill. Theres nothing meaner than the DSM smiling at you with a big ass FMIC up front...
Anyways, Great job. Keep these comming man!

This might be a dumb question but do I need anything else besides the 2g install kit I bought from dsmparts?

It all depends on what your kit came with.

I bought this kit:
TC 2G Turbo Install Kit : 2G DSM 95-99 Eclipse - DSM Turbo Upgrades - Turbo - DSMparts.com
I have also been thinking about going with a 14b instead of the 16g. Would this kit work for the 14b?

Ok, so I am thinking about buying a 14b from this guy. What do I need exactly besides the install kit I already bought. He said he would sell me the turbo manifold and o2 housing as well. He wants $275 for the 14b and this stuff, do I need this?

I Have Two Questions For You ???
How much HP did you gain from the 16g turbo and did you say you could get one for $100.00 ??
Thanks

14b turbo at 15 psi I probably gained 40-50 bhp. You can buy a 14b for $100. A small 16g is going to be around $250.
