Turbo a GTS - yes, it's fine. It's not THAT much heavier than the other trims.

Wing - no, the stock one is fine. Why would you NEED a trunk spoiler? You can if you prefer the looks of it, but there's no REASON for it.

Spoiler helps with handling. But if it is a daily driver, and not a car used in racing, it won't matter. And by racing, I don't mean the 1/4 mile.

Turboing has nothing to do with the vehicle weight, hell trucks are turboed. A spoiler is more or less an aesthetic choice on a FWD car or really any car that is simply driven around town with the odd autocross.

^ or he could get a spoiler that sits really high so his rear view isn't blocked. But what are the negatives about A turbo GTS other than low power gains due to low boost (which is because of a high CR) Id say go for it, I'll probably turbo my GTS if I don't get a RalliArt (only reason I want a RalliArt is AWD)

a wing is unnecessary for a slow fwd car, even if it's turbo.
there's not much difference in turboing the different lancer makes.

p.s. wing + stock looking car = rice.
