Is the kit a complete bolt-on? Or is it one of those t3/t4 kits from ebay that requires you to complete the piping and will fall apart in a few weeks anyway?

I'm hoping for his sake that it truly isn't a T4. More info needed to help you bud!

ya, what size is the turbo? Because you could be spoolin up at 2500RPM's... or 5500RPM's lol. T3/T4 is over doing it just a little on our setup. Only reason omar had it is because he was actually boosting that much to need it.

Just because it's a T3/T4 doesn't mean the Lancer wouldn't benefit from it, but there just wouldn't be a much useable powerband...like say in my 8k redline Civic.

you trading off 5 or 10 wheel horsepower for a much LESS usable powerband probably.

Until this guy says where he got the kit from, we don't know what it will be like. But yeah a t3/t4 would be a little big for just a turbo lancer, without a built motor and high boost.

it is a T3/T4 turbo kit that I bought from a guy through ebay. He had it installed but said its a tight fit between the radiator and engine. I dont really care too much about having the most power out of it cause I have an automatic, I just want a lil more power to go with the look of my car. Also it came with a 10 to 1 FMU and I read in a forum someone was using a 12 to 1 FMU, which is best. thanks for all replies.

That will work well with 5psi. My only concern is with the turbo itself. Do you know what brand it is? Is it a cheap ebay knockoff? Or is it a properly manufactured turbo? I would hate to see your setup get messed up from a cheap turbocharger.
