ok this guy around my area offered me a t4 turbo with intercooler and blow off valve for a grand, granted its all in good shape, is this a good deal or should i pass?

 

I'd recommend going with a smaller turbo. Assuming they're all in great shape it'd be a good deal, otherwise it'd pretty much on par with what you should pay for those parts used. If you can get the IC (assuming it fits) and bov for a good price, ****** them up and look for a more suitable turbo. If there's no tech discussion though I'm going to put this in USLG.

 

the guy had the turbo setup in a eagle talon, he said the intercooler is pretty big, im not sure if it would fit the lancer or not tho, i will ask him the size and post it tomarrow or something

 

T4 = too big.

 

wpmt a t4 have too much lag on our cars?

 

Quite probably. That's why Boni and I said it was too big.

 

Good deal - just clearifying lol

 

thnx for the info on the T4 guys, still havent gotten able to talk to the guy about the size of the intercooler tho, when i do i will post size

 

Ask him if you could try it out before buying it.

 

where do you plan on getting the pipes for this setup if you bought it anyways. i would say you would have a better chance at going to a junk yard and finding parts that fit. im not 100% but i think the talon intercooler might be too big depending on how big it was on the talon.
good luck though.

 

I would also wonder about pressure drop due to a TOO LARGE intercooler....the lancer would already have a hard time spoolin the T4 and then with the large intercooler . Man thats gonna really hurt ya OUCH!
