I would be weary,
those are just cheap aluminum bends, not custom piping
no down pipe
no real fuel mods
that intercooler looks like its seen better days
same with the turbo
t4 is a bit much for a lancer anyway
no wastegate
the only good looking part is the manifold in my honest opinion.

Definitely contact the seller; but that would be a very good start to a kit for under $1k. If that mani is actually for the Lancer 2.0L, then that'd be the first one I'd seen like that and chrome'd. But it's probably a T3/T4, meaning it's probably closer to what you're looking for. I just don't see some shop making a T4 flange for a T4 turbo for a 100 whp car. Ask what the turbo came off of for further detail.

Remember this package will come from Alaska, so shipping won't be cheap (as reflected in the auction [$200]).

Good luck...

I've heard the OBX Headers don't work with a Turbo set-up. He just told me to cut something. Forgot, it's been a while. I would stay away. There was another Kit that was a Prototype(sorry if didn't spell right) but the only thing wrong with it was the downpipe I believe.

Sorry guys but I dont have a link. I only have the sellers name :-(.

Anyways, I wouldn't do this one. It's been on Ebay for a little over 2 months, and I asked him if he would sell it for $800. He told me "No" and I was lucky to find out more about it from a pro(Neb here hehe)

Not worth it, I would much rather buy from A2.

Check out A2 designs for affordable and quality parts.

Those parts don't look like a complete turbo kit. Only RRM has a complete turbo kit.

This is soooo true... I actually used to be a big part of it as well.

For now i just read and check in from time to time if needed.

Right now i've been reading a lot of things about this A2 company, their association with Accolade, and some RPW encounters.

It's so interesting that this A2 company has yet to become a vendor on here and open themselves up to everyone's questions. Seems Accolade is a supporter yet they are just chiming in here and there. Then you've got RRM battling rumors and mis-info that so many know already.

A the battle of the vendors... it's makes a customers dreams of cheaper products come down.
