Well in theory he should be able to install the RRM turbo himself, no labor charge. However, it is RRM we're talking about so I'm certainly not about to assume their turbo as easy as they claim.

 

the difference is RRM won't cost 3k in labor (not to mention all the parts are new so I don't need to worry about parts failing). I will be able to get an actual quoted price for the install instead of being told "well we don't know how the kit you piece together will work so we can't give you a quote since we don't know how long it will take to install"

 

Put it in your garage, work on it for a month and you will get it done! After your done, you will feel great for accomplishing something yourself and learn about the car in the process

 

I don't have a garage or a month to work on it since the car is my dd

 

so... I decided against turbocharging the lancer... I thought about it and for the cost and the whole idea of voiding my warrantyand decided its not worth it.

I'm going to take the money and buy another car. I am going to look at a eclipse tomorrow if you guys have time take a peek at this thread and let me know what you think https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ot...ml#post8996874

 

shouldve never started this thread if your gona chicken out.

 

I don't see it that way... I see it as the smart thing to do. my lancer only has 15,000 miles on it so I would be voiding 85,000 miles worth of a warranty and it will cost me over 5000.00 to do it for what 6lbs of boost. I can buy this GSX for 1500.00 put less than 1000.00 into it and have a car that will out perform the lancer and I will be able to boost like crazy

 

seems like you were clear before you started a thread with no meaning in it

 

obviously you didn't read the first post where I was asking for information on how much the project would cost and whether or not it would be a reliable system.

for 5k+ why not buy a car that has a better foundation to build off of this way I have 2 cars and if something breaks I'm not screwed.

if you don't like the thread or what I have decided to do then don't read it. I don't see what it matters if I decided to turbo or not this thread may be useful to someone else.

on another note welcome to the forum I'm glad you joined less than 2 months ago have 24 posts and already think you own the place

 

200+ post and still need to ask about turbo prices. OH NO 5K+ BUY NEW CAR. pretty obvious.

 

The thread is called "Thinking about going turbo", not "I'm def going turbo so everyone get butthurt when I suddenly choose not to."

 

Thank you,

 

200+ posts because I have been a member since 2004...originally I owned a 03 lancer. I have offered help to people that I could help and have had lots of people help me along the way.

Basically what I am saying is I have been a good contributing member of this forum for over 6 years.......you have been here for two months and most of your posts are either flaming other Peoples posts calling something they like "steamy rice" or saying "sick car" or asking how reliable a cvt Turbo is... really how reliable is a CVT trans with a turbo I could have told you to do a search since that topic had only been covered like 30 times in the past 2 months.

 

I see misinterprettations ( cant spell)
