Does a 1997 Eclipse Turbo need a catalytic converter?

I bought a 1997 Eclipse Turbo that does not have a catalytic converter. Do I need to install one. I have some white smoke coming from the tail pipes. Is this the reason? Head gasket is fine, no oil leaks. ThanksDoes a 1997 Eclipse Turbo need a catalytic converter?
the white smoke is probably coming from a bad turbo bearing, its pretty common. the catalytic converter has nothing to do with the smoke that just clears up bad gases coming out of the engine.Does a 1997 Eclipse Turbo need a catalytic converter?
He's right. Eventually you'll end up replacing the turbos or either rebuilding them. Don't worry, just enjoy but that's all it is.
