Search around and you'll find all the information you're looking for. But right off the bat, you may be disappointed... while you can get some nice power with a turbo kit, you can't swap in Evo parts for anything but a couple of visual changes. Just search around and tell your cousin to do the same and you'll learn a lot more than starting a thread where everyone's going to tell you to search.

http://www.roadracemotorsports.com/drivetrain.htm for Drive Train upgrades...

Go here, they have plenty are part upgrades for the 03 lancer...and always remember this, the OZ Rally is just an es / ls with rims, bumper lips, and a wing. :-)

Front suspension is different, rear is the same. The only difference up front is the size of the spring perch, so it's not entirely different. Also, the bolt pattern is 4x100mm as opposed to the LS/OZ's 4x114.3mm. As far as engine mechcanical and drivetrain mechanical are concerned they're identical excluding added features such as cruise control and, in the case of the LS, available ABS.

WHAT? You dare come into the Lancer forums?! I'm gonna have to confiscate your Subaru... and the pink slip too

Ok seriously, remind your cousin that the potential of his Lancer is much less than that of an RS or WRX, but Road Race Motorsports has plenty of great parts for the Lancer as well as the Impreza With the help of Road Race and a few other common tuning shops, I have been able to make my Lancer somewhat competitive against other STS cars (which includes the RS) in autocross. And of course, a turbo would do wonders if I wasn't limiting myself by class. Run a search on this site for RPW and you'll find some good engine internals, that can either compliment the Road Race parts, or improve the Lancer by themselves.

Most of the fellas in this Evo/Lancer forums appreciate Subbies
Around here It's Honda's that get the proverbial

Welcome, and do a search, it's a great function and you should be able to find alot of info.

and a rear sway bar, and white guages, and cruise control as standard. Also, the shocks are different on the OZ compared to the ES, not that either is better just different. But you're right, the OZ is still a dressed up ES in many respects.
