Do not sell all your mods just for the turbo. The turbo serves as both go and show. By getting the turbo not only will you gain crazy speed but you'll gain show points as well. What would you rather have a stock oz w/ turbo, or a really hot looking lancer w/ turbo? Remember Qtlancer's ride...exactly... a beautiful car with the speed to back it up.

on the note with PGmike...he didn't have Stage II, he didn't even have stage I....he had a non-intercooled set up. Look at Hotshot and imapunkclaimer...they got their stage II and they're loving every minute of it.
since you guys brought me up: look at what other ppl are getting with a intercooled setup vs what i got with nonitercooled. intercooled is barely faster, ppl are still in high 14 unless they have tons of other supporting mods like boe did when he was nonintercooled. and honestly guys, srrms stg2 still is not fast. ppl dont post numbers, but there are a few numbers out there and honestly guys you have to realize that 13s, 14s, and 15s are not fast. then some ppl say, "h wait i dont care about the quarter mile, i care about the highway, stg2 can beat a stock evo on teh highway hyuck hyuck". osrry to break it to you but stock evos are not fast either on teh quarter mile and even less from a roll. if you are rich and have money to burn then yes it is worth it to turbo the lancer, otehr wise, if you care about spoeed and performance, the lancer is not what you should work off of. most intelligently would be to jump ship to the domestic side.

sounds like a good start. FI without a decent suspension setup, is almost a waste, as both melaz and i have experienced first hand

I'm not a fan of the K-kit, but you Lancer looks really good. Keep the stuff and start saving for a mivec engine. BE PATIENT!

/sigh

dude, he just said he's buying a ripp sds kit, why would he save up for an engine that nobody has even proven will be a direct swap?
