Supercharger Preparation
Could someone please shed some light on what sort of modifications are required or recommended before buying a supercharger kit? (specifically the RIPP kit)

you can probably use any header. However IMO, i would go with the RPW header and downpipe .. i'm all for RPW and them crazy ausies :P
I also believe that bigger fuel injectors is not required but desired to get max. power out of it.

I would suggest the following:
1. Brakes. something like the willawood discs someone on here has.
2. LSD
3. Suspension/wheels/tires.
4. Super charger.
No point having a car that goes well in a straight line but cant stop/turn.

The brakes are Wilwood just FYI. RMR are the only people with the kit, but the price ain't bad last I checked.
Tires at least I'd definitely recommend. Wheels are not necessary but may suit your wants. I've had no problems or complaints on my stock suspension (only mods are a front single tube strut tower bar and wheels/tires).
Lemme recommend you get solid urethane motor mounts. With them an LSD should not be necessary to control tire spin, and the only real downside is that you may have some vibration at idle. (Some had it, I didn't).

all u need is a header and exhaust would be good too... i think the RPW would go best but the guys at RIPP have their own header design but im not sure if the Lancer one is out yet... and after you do the kit ur deff going to need a new clutch, better off getting it before the kit break it in so that when ur done with the SC u can go out and have some fun pretty quickly

any header will work with the RIPP kit as long as it's one of the many that are offered for the lancer (RRM, RPW, KAMIKAZE, etc.) i asked. our car won't really benefit from a lightened flywheel. it might actually hurt you when it comes to daily driving. do a search and you can find out why.
