They use a heavy exhaust wheel on the turbo which makes the boost come in very progressivly, unlike the kick you get in a Cosworth or the likes.
Best mod for them is a Cosworth T3, though you need to watch the boost level and that it doesnt run to lean.
When my mate was running the 8V head, it was pushing 400bhp on Motec. He had it running 350bhp before that, but he had changed all the Mitsubishi loom and ECU for a more tunable Cosworth setup and the limitations on the std ECU where to restrictive.
As toto said, the 2.0 is the one to have. The 2.6 was junk, a lame attempt by Mitsubishi to gain more power from CC's after the engine had been detuned for the US market, unfortunatly this ment the engine was heavier, and lazier.

IIRC the turbo will bolt directly to the manifold, but it will need a custon down pipe and custom oil pipes.
Shoud see 25-30bhp maybe if you keep the boost at a sensible 12psi, but the way the Cosworth T3 comes on boost, it will feel a far more entertaining drive
Thanks stu Gotta get the damn thing started 1st, has an electrical problem no ignition light (battery), damn thing starts then cuts out so i aint even drove it yet
"Yeah cars fine" I go to pick it up and it has no gas, a flat battery, had to pick it up from middle of TOXTETH and "oh i forgot to tell you" Damn elecy problem with alternator
