Eclipse turbo for a Lancer swap

I have '03 Lancer OZ Rally and I was wondering where I can get a stock eclipse turbo and piping but not the engine? I work at a Mitsubishi dealership but they are askin $1200 for it, I told them they can kiss my ***, lol . If anyone knows help me out please.

do you have a turbo manifold already? the stock eclipse piping may be useless if you dont know where your turbo is going to be positioned . and your obviously not going to be using the eclipse's turbo manifold.. at least not without some modification..

Yea i know i need to get the manifold, it's kinda hard to find it for my car though and also i need an exhaust but they run for $500 and i don't want to pay that much so if anybody know where i can get one for a good price then let me know.

If u could get a full 2.5"-3" mandrel turbo back exhaust for $500 you'd be getting a nice deal

Thats the problem its not the turbo-back it's the Greddy Evo 2 Cat-back. The parts that i want for my car are either too expensive or hard to find.

the reason for 3"- turbo, standalone ecu, injectors, fuel rail/pump, TB, etc.....

I wanted to make an exhaust that would not be restrictive up to roughly 16psi (once internals are installed)

gotcha, i am stage 2 turbo my downpipe is 3 and works down to 2.5 and it stays 2.5 all the way back..

i agree with your decision for 3 since you are looking for high boost levels, but for someone that is turbo pushing 5-10 psi there will be a definite loss in torque

You can use the eclipse turbo you would just have to find a manifold. Your best bet would probably be to find a manifold for the stock turbo for an eclipse off of e-bay, then have a new flange welded on. A mani would be ~150, the flange ~100, and teh welding ~100. Or just have a log manifold made for your turbo.

Just drop a Evo turbo!

I got a 2005 Evo turbo w/ 10.5 hotside, 02 housing all ready. All you need to do is get a Manifold to be able and apply it to the lancer. I was going to put it in mine but I got the RRM kit.

shoot me a PM if you want it, i'll give you a good price for it!
