theres currently a new AT turbo kit out from RRM. which is one of the leading companies that help out lancer ralliarts. so if you are serious about tuning call RRM and ask for Rob.

tuning your car really depends on what you want. turbo or N/A. if you go turbo, you dont really need an intake/header cuz they'll have to go anyway. plus tuning depends on your budget. ^^.

but, if you are just planning on putting on some bolt ons... CAI is the way to go, Piggyback ECU, and an exhaust. the piggyback ecu should give you a big power boost. so, GL. www.roadracemotorsports.com

Im not sure if i am gonna go turbo and i would go to the piggy back but its gonna be really expensive to run 91 octane fuel. Im prolly gonna go to Injen for my CAI bcuz that is the only place i can find one for an auto.

air goes out faster. doesnt have to go through a catalytic converter, because there isnt one!! ^^. cons, maybe a noise problem some people dont like, it all depends on your liking though, but more performance gains come from the dp itself, people explain this around the evom. threads.

I would stay away from the downpipe unless you plan on getting a resonator put in. Extremely loud and sounds like bees.

That panel ended up turning my 1/2 hour job into about an hour and a half job. Darn panel and pop screws
