thanks a lot, my mustang is a 98 gt, its back home im maryland, i just paid it off, i didnt want to ship it over here to hawaii, mainly because cars rust a lot faster here then they would on the mainland. so i bought the lancer, but i have never dealt with an import car b4. i have a lot of work to do, its weird going from 480 to 120

for a base setup nothing, to get a little extra an exhaust an maybee a throttle body. To go with more boost pistons and alot of boost rods, valve springs and retainers. Then a clutch, LSD and the list can go on and on till you eventually replace everything.

mostly internals, I would make sure and do research about the pistons u have and the rings inside, and make sure ur block will stand all the extra power and pressure. not sure exactly what precautions u will need to consider with the oz. but definitly dont go too much with out reinfrocements

Congrat's on buying the OZ, hope you do well with it! It's so good to see more and more Lancers out there without losing credibility like seeing millions of hondas.

N e ways, i bought a Lancer for the same reason most other people did. It is much better to make your car fast, rather than buy a fast car to start (Unless you're riding in a Ferrari or Porsche!).

Greddy has a deeper sound, but also costs $100 more.

First, what's your flywheel HP goal?

If it's under 200, go NA. Going TC will bump you beyond 200 HP.

SC isn't really worth it until you have a 6 banger and bigger.

get out dude! that's where i grew up! u know where west riding is?

anyhow, i'd go with magnaflow, mainly because i like that it is a quieter exhuast, and MUCH cheaper. got mine shipped for 345, greddy usually runs around 500 and requires some bumper modification (or so i've heard).
