Is having NOS , or any kind of 'BOOST' practical in a lancer evo?... an is it safe, how much do u think it would cost for a decent set up for the lancer to be faster then a WRX?

There are other simple modifications that in total, cost around the same as a Nitrous kit which will also make major performance improvements.. However, consensus so far has been a small nitrous wet kit, 35-50 HP is fairly safe.. I would still strongly recommend against nitrous in favor of some sort of Fuel Management Computer, a Boost controller, and at least a cat-back exhaust. Your looking at more than enough found power to be competative with the new WRX STi.. And our cars stock are already a bit quicker than the current WRX.. Just remember, its not always about how much power, but how well you drive.. understanding your car, how to launch, how to drive it and shift it, will have a bigger performance effect than most mods.

thats true... but after you add a bunch of other things, the nitrous will give you a better kick, a few people on here are runing high 11's with a small wet kit

It should be fine in small doses as previously stated.
I already got my NX kits, will be using it to spool the pizza wheels... hehehe ;-)
