Yet another thread about Turboing a 03 lancer.

Ok I thought that would be the case. So anyone know if you buy the RRM manifold will that still allow the stock or aftermarket Evo DP to bolt right up? If not is there any other mani out there you can weld a 4g95 flange to without having to move the tubing? And will any of these also allow the stock evo DP?

Yes the runners are a little off on the Evo manifolds when you put them up to a 94, but like everyone who did turbo builds with a 16g from 05 and forward have welded the flange for a 94 onto the Evo manifold and it has worked just fine for them. Once the weld is done take a dremmel and smooth out what little bit of the Evo runners you can see comeing out of the flange for the 94.
Or you can drop 900 on a custom manifold that matches up perfectly, much like the speedcorps mani.
Some projects that did just that:
HMT 16G Project
ShortBus 16G
Well actually this was this guys turbo build... here is how he built the kit, but a second person went onto using it with no problems!
LancerRally45's 16G
AZNFlip's Turbo Build
There are more but my computer is running super slow right now.

Wow never seen anyone weld a flange right on top of another flange b4 lol I guess it was working for him though. Hmm.. ok so now what size of decomp head gasket are you guys running? I am getting arp headstuds and was thinking of getting a decomp that dropped me down to 9:1 that way its still lower than stock but not too low that my low end non boosting rpms are worthless.
Side note looks like I have been able to track down all the piping I was looking for and a 9 bov local to me I will as always keep ya posted.

If your getting head studs don't worry about the head gasket, pistons can take care of the compression rate you want.
Have you ordered the head studs yet? I ordered mine almost 2 weeks ago and it still says on the speedcorps site they haven't shipped yet.
I just did it cuz i thought i would rather do it now and get them before new owners take over and might not offer them, but they might not even be running it anymore. :

Ya I am kinda afraid to order anything from there just for right now as sounds like with all the stuff going on might take awhile to get the stuff. Plus I just find the cheapest price on the quality parts I want. The forge AWG I found for $165 new but hoping to find it used cheaper. I am going to at least get a metal headgasket for sure and new timing belt. Would an adjustable cam gear be a good mod for timing adjustment? And is 1550cfm enough for slim fan?

Ok well then I will probably wait on that one then I dont plan on getting a cam right now anyways. You know what? It seems like to more I learn about this the more questions I come up with
Answer one and create 5 Its all good though cause its all about the boost am I right

I want to but right now I am doing this as cheaply (but still reliable and properly at least for the most part) as possible. Basically I wanna do this for now and if I ever happen to blow something then I can go in and build the internals. Senate I know before you told me I can use my stock FPR as long as I have the 440 wrx and walbro which I do, however, would a stock Evo FPR benefit me in any way? I seen another turbo'd lancer running a evo FPR but dont know if it actually was helping or not?

Thanks for the info on the FPR, I will probably get a RR FPR for now. Im gonna order my Evo8 ecu tomorrow!!! Whenever I buy the tactrix cable should I throw the ecu in before I get the turbo parts together and get it running good, or should I wait and put it in when throwing everything else on??? also which cable is better the 1.3 or 2.0 or does it really matter?
