My turbo lives again!!
So you are using stock ECU. My question is. What would you flash the ECU to. Stock RA ECU map? I am putting stock RA turbo on my 08 lancer es. Once I get custom downpipe and air outlet (from turbo to uicp). My only stop back right now is the ECU tuning. I want to put turbo on myself (so I dont have to pay labor fees). And I was also wondering where you connected all the plumbing since the block is not designed for the turbo?

dont use stock RA map, get a custom flash, then once its broken in, dyno tune it. oil feed is from a gallery on the passenger side of the motor. its what i showed that was cracked in the pictures. its plugged with an 8mm allen head bolt. for water delivery, theres a similar plug on the drivers side of the block in front of where the upper radiator hose connects to. water return goes back into the lower radiator hose, you need a coupler with a T off for that. if you need pics, let me know.
also, you CANT use stock injectors!!! an evo x manifold WILL fit.

as far as i know, yes and no. it can be tuned, it has the same connectors, etc. it CAN be physically plugged into an RA or evo x. as far as being tuned to run those cars, idk about the RA, but its a no for the evo. if the RA and evo have the same head, then its a no for the RA. I talked to jestr about having a lancer ECU run an evo motor, and he said it'll plug in, but the head has completely different circuitry. so a lancer ECU can not run on an evo motor.
