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.
It amazes me how Mitsu screwed it up so badly in subsequent generations of the Eclipse.
How a company that made the Starion, Eclipse, Lancer, 3000GT and a bunch of other performance trims of their other cars dropped the ball so badly .
They definitely went boring after a while. To be honest I think the other big Japanese manufacturers were able to modernize, but Mitsubishi never could.
