What size/kind of turbo is this? How much boost do you plan on running? Wastegate? BOV? Intercooled? I strongly suggest you don't boost your car until you know enough about turbos and turbo kits to be able to not only build your own kit, but tell people exactly what each part does and any and all specs they might want to know. Walking into a project like this without even knowing what you need is like walking into a war zone having never held a gun before.

if your goin to even think about tackling this yourself or even just gettin all the parts and haveing someone else do it, read up extensively on here first. there are plenty of custom build threads

the gt42 makes in the area of 1000hp on the evo and that is awd. for fwd you will have major traction problems even at the 500hp level. this has to be a joke

Plus with the boost levels a lancer can handle it won't make power till 6000 RPM and will be laggy as all hell.

Yea...

The only Lancer that can run a GT42 turbo has the word "Evolution" next to it on the trunk badging...

Hahah the gt42r is the mack daddy of turbos. There is one guy on nasioc attempting the custom install on his STI. He is the first one. Guys with EVO's run this turbo, and even more more people do on the supras. Whats the chances of a lancer running this turbo? never
