I drive an automatic 2003 lancer es. I have a list of items i am getting before i get it turboed. If i should add to the list let me know and also has anyone seen a decrease in gas mileage after getting a turbo and how much?

1. Short Ram Intake
2. Cat Back Exhaust System
3. Pistons
4. Connecting Rods
5. Turbo unless anything else is needed

Thank you

 

Well its not just as easy as getting a turbo. I wouldn't do the pistons and rods and save your money. By the time to getting the boost needed to upgrade those your auto trans will be pushing its limits.

Get SRI, catback with testpipe

T25 turbo
Turbo Manifold
2.5" downpipe
Upgraded Fuel injectors
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Vacuum lines
Oil Lines
Tial BOV
Tial wastegate
Intercooler
Intercooler piping
New spark plugs (1 or 2 steps colder)
Various clamps and connectors
Some sort of fuel management (SAFC, emanage, FMU)
And I am sure I am forgetting other things

 

First off, don't post the exact same question in two separate places, one of the threads will be deleted. Anyways, you don't need a SRI to be turboed, in fact the intake will be replaced when you go turbo. Based on the knowledge you've displayed here, I would suggest going with the premade RRM kit rather than try to build a custom kit.

 

I planned on buying the RRM

 

Ok then, there's nothing more you need to run their kit. Read the FAQ in my sig to get an idea of what turboing involves.
