i'd read this. this is really helpful https://www.evolutionm.net/features/...orner&id=16&s=

uhm if you are talking about engine mods, this would be a good time to think about if you are going n/a or using forced induction. i'd hate to see u buy headers high compression pistons and then have to get rid of em cuz u want to go to forced induction.

suspension mods like tires, rims, a drop, sway bars and others can also be some things u might wanna look @.

pretty much my advice is to find what u think is the car's weakest part and work on that since your car will be only as strong as its weakest link

i'd go with a header, you have three choices, (rmr, rpw, or kamikaze) or you can wait for the rrm header, it's up to you. if you dont want to get a header just yet, you could always get the test pipe from rrm and get a custom catback to complete your exhaust . . . it all depends on your budget . . .

nope no header

Cant put a header on, because with a turbo you need a certain exhaust manifold that loops the exhaust back through the turbo to drive the turbine, its a very different thing when you have a turbo, tht why Pinoyesv6 brought up a good point, you should decide right now whether you want to go NA or forced induction, because alot of the engine parts are dependent on what type of set up you want to run. my $0.02. Good luck with whatever you do.

RRM Catback Test Pipe

Spoke with ROCK today. I am gonna drive down early in the new year to do the turbo/blow off valve/intercooler tweak.

Labor is $580 but RRM takes about 3 days to install, test, and tune your Lancer. You can also add more mods while the car is in the shop.

Ordered my test pipe and springs today.

both good mods and not big $$$.

Save for the turbo kit. Gonna be about $5K with for the above configuration, total including tax and labor.

Suspension suspension suspension!

Truth be told, this car isn't an accleration beast, so, you might want to focus on the other components of fun to drive, and, well, that's suspension in this guy's opinion. A catback would be nice too... I got a great custom job for cheap, and it's loud/deep enough to set off car alarms in the right conditions. I'm kinda scared to consider a header, seeing as that would make the ***** even louder. Anyway.
