Need A Lot Of Advice In A Little Bit Of Time!

I've been watching a turbo kit for a 4g94 engine over the past few days, conversing with the owner about it and working out the details to get in shipped. We think we have a plan, but I wanted to check with my family here (u guys!) to see your opinions. my main concern is, will the exhaust mani fit? (i believe it should, but want a 2nd opinion) LET 'ER RIP!

yeah!! all the Lancer Turboing people's biggest headace is the manifold, everything else is on ebay!! If i were you and looking to turbo your car soon, i would get it then just rebuild turbo (not too hard) and replace all the maintenouse parts (coupler, hose, gasket, ect) and recondition the manifold and pipe, and you are set to go!! it only running $450 right now and 4 hr left. probably gonna end under 1000!! i think its good deal!!

Wow, I'd get that just cause. The manifold should fit, but even if it doesn't, you could have a custom one made and still come out cheaper than any other kit. Plus you are getting the SAFC, boost gauge, and even the tapped oil pan right? Go for it, and good job on that nice find. Let us know how it goes

Did it sell? Cause if it went from $450 to $500 when I saw it it's gone. If he relists it I'd say pick it up fast. You'll spend that much on just the manifold itself or the turbo if you go custom.

It's a turbo kit. Not a bumper.

Ask the guy to relist it... For under $1k, it's definitely a great start!

There exist different venues for exhuast flanges. So it is easier to go custom.

I saw that the reserve wasn't even met at $700. Did he say how much it would cost to sell?
