Thinking about turbo what next...

Hey everyone before i continue I just want to say I have researched and I am debating on getting a turbo know. I'm a little nervous because I not sure i understand all of the parts. I drive a 2005 Lancer ES with a RRM SRI and a N1 catback exhaust.

I was thinking of buying all of the evo 8 turbo parts and putting them onto my car but I hear you have to mod then. So what are some other turbos that you might recommend. Also I am trying to buy the turbo in parts as a slow project and have it in by end of spring. Thanks For your help.

By the end of spring isn't a slow build btw! LOL You definitely need to read up in the F/I section here and as well at some other members builds that included all Evo VIII stuff. There are a few here, so get familiar with that search field!

You probably save about a thousand when your all done. Some where around 2000-2500. Unless your paying someone else to install it.
