stock water pump and belts for turbo build?
So basically what I'm asking is since I plan on building a 16g turbo kit for my 03 lancer oz rally and the first thing I wanna start with is replacing the water pump and timing belt. And might as well do all the belts. Now should I get all stock OEM mitsu parts or is there and trusted after market brands to suite the demands of the turbo build.
BTW plans are going for a simple build with a 16g only pushing 6-9 psi. Until I build a different bottom end. Don't want to much power just more juice for my daily need. It is my DD.

The oem water pump is pretty expensive compared to the jobber one though...u can get a timing belt kit that includes the timing belt/water pump and tensionner for +- 150$ jobber and all that oem is almost 3x the price because of the water pump so that's up to you!

mine was like $140, which was less than whatever brand NAPA was selling...I personally wouldn't use aftermarket timing parts, but it's up to you...ball joints, tie rod ends, control arms, sure, but OEM timing belts were warrantied for at least 60k miles, and tons of people got way over that...most after market brands might give you a 1 or 2 year warranty...which one do I trust?

here in canada the oem water pump was 173$ at my price (im a mechanics and we have reduced prices for parts) and i got a high end jobber water pump for 99$ and it's made in japan, the quality is equivalent to oem
