What the hell are you talking about? It's still early in the week to be hitting the crack pipe isn't it?

problem is the risk involved in installing IM. If i can't self-install I can't let a shop install it for me

It's not that bad... if you do it take pics of everything or get your hands on a diagram of the engine. If you are doing a ported swap of the 4g94 IM then you just hook up everything to the same lines... If you are doing a 4g93 IM swap then you need to be prepared to do some redirecting of hoses. It's about a 6 on the "Fox" 1-10 scale of toughness.

Just have N1te or Jotun put it on for you... wait... you'd have to be local for that... Wait you live in MD. We live in NOVA. We could do it. Now join our club... see sig for details.

Try running a search for other Lancers on this board who live by you who may have some experience. In all honesty, its very, very unlikely it was a problem of installation with the guys ported IM. If it was from installaling a dirty IM, all you need to do is make sure your parts are clean before you install them. And there is always a large pool of knowledge here from many who've done it before including our beloved GURU - boeturbolancer
