For the money I would end up paying I could make my car faster than the RA... So not worth and I would have something different and I wouldn't give a S*** about negative criticism

I would rather be upside down and have a real meant to be turbo, then a botched, wanna be, that clamps,hoses, and every other problem keeps popping off or loose. You will be far fetched to get the handling, power, or performance out of your Lancer to equal a Ralliart and definitely not the EVO! Sometimes you need to think things through about the future of what you want out of your vehicle before you purchase it, and you would not be in this predicament. Either way, I wish you luck with your endeavors to get what you want performance wise out of your Lancer! Good Luck!

Read into the turbo kits. the 08 RRM kit makes power equal to a RA. The 2.4L turbo kit should exceed a stock ralliart.

The only thing you're missing is the AWD, which is a big thing, but then again how many people out there REALLY drive their car where they need AWD traction for all that power? Most people realistically drive their lancers as daily drivers, so to me FWD is fine when i'm on the highway and i just want to cream my pants a little as i pull off the service ramp and i hear my turbo spool. Theres no difference to me between 5psi and 20psi. Lets be honest, unless you plan on using the car as a track car, anything over 250hp is wasted on daily driving.

Have you not driven in snow? That is why all Subaru's are AWD stock! They do very well on bad road conditions including snow, rain, and ice. So that is a HUGE thing! Guys always want more power.....if that were not the case, then why would you buy any bolt on's at all? You would be content with a Ford Fiesta and pray like hell that you can make it up that hill or pass that car going 35 in a 50!
