ummm probably no more than that 250 to the floor, depending on tuning/mods
keep in mind the 1st gen's are lighter, and if it's awd it's going to lose
more power to the floor than just a regular fwd dsm.

18psi on an Eclipse doesn't really mean anything. What size was the turbo? It's not like your supercharger where your 6psi gets you almost 100hp more to the wheels. The stock eclipses were running about 12psi to begin with. That's not a big bump. The stock turbos can be bumped up to about 18psi with just a boost controller. Put this in perspective, with a 18G and 21psi I was only getting mid to high 13s in my 2nd Gen Eclipse.

if you really want to hunt DSM guys down find the NYCCDSM guys. THe top ten guys with timeslips are all below 12.4 in the quarter mile. Most of them are daily driven. The top 5 are all below 11.9. Most of those guys should have the CLUB DSM sticker on their car it has the NYC skyline on the sticker.
