"Your Car Pretend" "My Car Really" Scenario
Turbo Kit- $4000
Throttle Body- $300
IM- $350
Pulley- $100
Used 16" lightweight rims/tires- $300
Greddy Evo 2 catback - $500
Take out catalytic converter- free
Emanage Ultimate- $500
LSD- $1000
New shocks/struts/camber kit/lowering springs/sway bars etc. -$1000
Built/Ported/Polished Cylinder head with new lightweight springs/valves/gaskets etc. -$1500
RRM Camshaft- $500
All of those are rough prices and would be kickass on a lancer. Watch out for the drivetrain/transmission to start going out though!

After the turbo I'd go with some basic stuff like a cat back and definatly strut/sway bars. Then i'd jump on the interior, with DVD players, sub, etc. maybe a custom paint job too. Your 17, your supposed to blow large sums of money that you will later regret. otherwise, your just a dork with 10G's. :-)
