I did have AMS brace the manifold. I have read over your build thread many times, and learned from your misfortune. I have talked to AMS about building a manifold for the next phase of the build. I may also upgrade the turbo. Thanks for the suggestions. I am always open to them. For now I am just going to enjoy the feel of a boosted Lancer.

I got those off of ebay lol. but they are listed as an evo's dampeners, however as I play with this car more and more I am finding that I can get almost anything to fit my car off of an evo lol

And yes the third picture is old. It was an rfl bov I loved it! It was so much louder, but the hose that I used ripped and I could not find another, so I got a new one , and the catch can I think that I need to hook up to the other port off the top of the valve cover also, because it is not catching a proper amount of oil, that I would expect....

Hopefully soon i can update this with some fresh pipping all welded and done by me, and powder coated candy red that would be sexy

Ahh...I thought the Evo ones would work but a vendor told me they wouldn't because the Evo bonnets were heavier, which made no sense to me.

By the way we need more pics and a build thread if possible...

The evo ones do work! you can trust me lol
As far as a build thread it has been a while since the build, but I am sure I can put something together...lol it may take a while, but I do have some awesome pictures where I blew my first motor up so I am sure that would be cool to add half way thru

I will definitely try! On both ends. I have heard a lot of good things about it, only thing is that I love the looks of cars, but most of the time I find unless I am racing in some sort I get bored just looking lol

More or less off topic, However build thread idea has been killed, and so has my car (yet again). I think I am done with the whole turbo'd Lancer thing. Its more hassle than good, especially as I am in college. But today while building boost right at 9psi, it lost all power (like missing a cylinder), the exhaust sounds like it blew the baffle in the muffler, the head is ticking something aweful, and it is completely leaned out at pretty much all times. My friend who is a Tech. is fixing it for me this time, because I happen to have 3 exams this week, and need a car like asap, with no time. Might I add this is the first time someone else has touched my car other than myself.

Any who, I would like to thank all at evolutionm with their extremely informative forums! You all have been a great contributor to all my fixed problems in the past!

I will note I will stay on and help give any info to help that I can.
