Saw both of those and was thinking about getting one. Just go with the new one for $65. My friend got a used one on his turbo kit and it's been fine for almost a year now.
hey guys back again, sorry for the long wait on a reply.... anyways so i got everything else hooked up, the ecu, and even tuned all the way down they were giving it way too much fuel.....so i dropped in the stock injectors. Now it runs lean, imagine that. Even at a 20 the thing still runs lean..... i am currently trying to get some cash to buy a fuel pump from RRM, i hope that is the problem. So yeah im now down in pheonix arizona, and i did get my body kit, much to my surprise that they sent me my original order..... and evo 8 front bumper and side skirts and an evo 9 rear bumper, so it has the diffuser on it 
. Just today i got my wheels, which really pissed me off, they are the wrong bolt pattern!!!!!!!!!! They look SO SO sexy on the lancer, if they bolted up that is. Anyways ill post pics when i get this son of a B done, with the body kit on and the wheels replaced, i have to make it look good haha.
Oh and no i dont have a returned fuel system, once i get the pump ill be good. Im down in arizona to go to school, UTI??? Not sure if any of you guys have heard of it, but i won 110,000 dollars total for school by winning the Ford/AAA auto skills competition. You can ask me about it if you are interested. I also got a bunch of snapon tools and about 2000 dollars worth of other tools, it really helped on the turbo install. Oh and any other tips in road tuning would be great, or if you have any other ideas what could be wrong with the lancer, it just runs lean even at a 20, though it is better than it was.
Sorry guys my mistake, i didnt WIN the AAA, i got third in the nation out of 50 states, but i did win in the state level.

lol, late response from me, but I'm basically looking for whole thing because I'm going to do tranny swap. I'm going to find out if a mirage tranny works because in that case I'll just use the Mirage tranny.

If you were looking at the body kit from the side view of the car, the rest of the body is level with the ground, then the bottom of the front bumper slants upward a little bit rather than also being level with the ground. I'll see if I can find an example.

Well this is all I could find actually. I know I've seen a better pic of it somewhere on a pink lancer but can't find it. I don't think you can even tell here.

Yeah on the fuel pump itself.... Because mine is the '06, I do not have a fuel return system... I couldnt figure out what to do, so I called RRM and they told me that it was on the pump itself, and they build cutom pumps for the lancer with there own fpr on it... So that is my next... VERY next item to buy, I'm still driving my car I jsut dont get on it hard enough to run lean... And let me tell you it sucks when you spend all that money, then THINK you have it figured out, when the old lancer throws a curve at ya... and because im a little low on cash, I couldnt order one right away. So yeah, anyone done a pump swap on an '06? Just curious as to how long it took, I havent even LOOKED at it yet, so I have no idea how its up there, how im gonna get it down. I am not faced with the luxery of a lift anymore, so anything I do now is gonna have to be in my garage. Oh well, It will get done. Another thing I am having a problem with is that when I am under boost, at least the little bit I can be under without going lean, I hear a whistle... whistles are not good on a turboed car, this means im not getting full boost... I am running a somewhat crappy filter, and i think it may be jsut the rubber seal on it, as i know it isnt on there that great. So, any tips for fuel pump removal is good, I havent "assessed" the situation yet, so i dont know.

Ok I just looked and i HAVE but am not using the Aeromotive A1000-6, Injected bypass regulator. It really sucks because I spent 250 on that, SS fuel lines and a fuel pressure gauge, all useless.

Fuel pump is a super easy swap. Pop your back seat bottom out and there will be a plate screwed down. Remove that and you'll see the fuel pump housing top with the fuel sending hose and a plug. undo both of those and unbolt the top and you can then pull out the assembly. from there you will be able to remove the pump. The actual pump is the same as the old lancer. The assembly is the only thing different. It just has a return hole on it. No lift needed. Take a look and you'll see how easy it is.
