Aftermarket Upgrades for Automatic OZ?

Could anyone help me come up with a list of aftermarket performance upgrades specifically that will work on an automatic 2003 lancer OZ?

So far...

Short Ram Intake *voids powertrain warranty?*
GReddy or Magnaflow Muffler with Cat-back Exhaust 2 1/4 IN *no warranty issues*
ECU Flash *voids powertrain warranty?*

Anything else to draw more horsepower? Also i want to define if they will void the warranty or not.

Please throw anything else out there i don't know about or have missed for an automatic.

Thanks,
mechtn

This site has been here for more than 2 years and the Lancer has been out almost as long. Try looking around the site and searching for what you want and I'm certain you'll find most of it.

While you're at it, run a search for SEMA and Warranty. Or better yet, go to Sema's website at http://www.sema.org and look for the Moss Morrison Act to learn about your federally protected warranty. Know your rights, not what the dealership tells you.

And I'm moving this to the newbie forum.

RRM Non-Intercooled Turbo kit will give you huge gains.

I know I just did it... My car is dead stock (engine wise) except the turbo and holy **** what a difference.

Or you can go with almost any of RRM's parts such as ported throttle body, ported intake manifold, short ram intake, Test pipe, exhaust..

As for the torque converter this is one of the most essential upgrades for an auto car that you want to make faster. It has been completely overlooked by the import scene for too long and will make a huge difference, but remember to matchup your torque converter to your engine mods. The same torque converter should not go on a turbo vs non turbo engine due to the difference in torque curves.

Oh yeah and welcome to the site!!!!!
