Well with the turbo sizes that are being put on the majority of lancers, there isn't much lag anyways. Not enough to matter even. If you were to race a turbo vs supercharged lancer, the turbo would put out much more power. The SC might jump off the line but the turbo's power would take the lead easily.

 

i boosted an 05 ra for a friend and its just not practical to put that money in that motor, it would cost half as much to swap a better motor instead of tryin to buy all the supporting mods you would need for an efficient setup

 

i was looking on ripp mods websites and they only have a SC kit for the RA? Thats kind've weird. To me boosting can last as long as you want it too last. Depending on you take care of things. My motor is stock and its seems as if my lancer came with a stock turbo in it. The car sounds like my audi 1.8t inside when the turbo spools.

 

ok then turbo it is. now i just need to find what kinda kit i want

 

If you want to piece a kit together, I'm sure you can find someone to help you pick out the parts you will need and what to do with them. Other than that, if you feel like dropping 4 grand, RRMs kit is proven, straight bolt on (minus tapping the oil pan), and comes with customer service and good looks.

 

oh thats a good idea. maybe ill try get someone to help me out

 

Yeah you def need someone to help you do this kit unless you've worked with turbo systems before and installing them.

 

idk i think making a kit - even with help might be a lil bit over my head. im just gonna try to find a cheaper kit for sale

 

Making a kit is honestly simple. Getting it to work and installing it is the hard part. If someone that you know has installed a turbo kit they would probably tell you gathering the stuff you need isn't hard. Just look at the sample picture, it shows you pretty much what you need to install a turbo.

 

ok thanks that helps alot. i think i know someone that will install the kit for me if i put it together
