How's it goin' u guys? i was just wonderin' is it an issue to put a turbo kit on a high mileage car? i have the 04 Lancer ES and thinkin' 'bout puttin' a brand new 16G Turbo Kit from RRM. By the way i have 53,145k on my car right now or should i just save my money and buy a new Lancer which has low mileage on it?

 

Do a compression test... If all is good, boost away!!!

 

how do i do that?

 

i have 100k on mine, turbo running strong. ur gonna blow your potato anyways, why not just wait till yah bake it then put in a new spud

 

Nice! i heard that turbo can last up to 150,000K and as for blowing my potato lol i cant , cause i already have buyers on my car. They just waiting for me to install the turbo setup. Or is it better to just sell the car and buy a Ralli///Art

 

if youre going to sell the car just sell it, i dont think whoever is buying it will pay you 4gs more for the turbo.... get the RA and turbo that, or if you can look for something with more performance support

but to answer your question my car has now 51000miles no problems, been turboed since around 40000ish, theres people on here that have 80000+ miles on their turbos

 

yeah how much do you think i should sell my car?i told em ill sell it for $9600. does the mod count on resale?

 

yes they do but at discounted price.

 

i guess ill sell it for $10,000. i bought it for 11,000 though...not counting the mods yet. If i do trade it to stealership how much do you think is the price for 'em?

 

a lot less then that id assume.

 

stealership won't give you much credit for the mods, though when they resell it they'll jack up the price. go figure
