Keep in mind that you must always choose the type of turbo base on your engine configuration and needs.
I have seen a few people using a 16G on a lancer but I strongly recommend sometime significantly smaller to be able to optmize the turbo efficiency.

If you want some real honest advice, don't do it. Based on the questions here you don't know enough to make a custom kit. While I'm sure you could find info on here and all that, you'd basically be painting by numbers. There are used RRM kits going for 2000$ now with everything you need (including gauges) to boost safely and properly.

Thanks for the advice but i think i can handle it. I would not do it if i though it was out of my abilities. I will also have some help from a local shop. but if you come across a RRM kit for $2000. let me know. I have a free turbo, custom turbo manifold for & 165.00 and a local shop will make a custom down pipe. They will tune it at the shop. the t-25 is very safe for our cars. im only going to run about 5 psi on stock internals. If i can do it myself and for less than $2000. Besides there are a **** tons of threads on here that will help me in my quest.

My question is why are you guys using O2 housings?

In my setup, I didnt have an O2 housing. I just ran the exhaust piping as usual, and had the exhaust shop weld a bung in the pipe for my O2 sensor....

Of course with the 4G63 swap, I will be using the stock parts, but why use it if you dont need it?
