If you look on my profile you can see all of my stuff. Will get mor epics up within the next few days. Performance wise I have non inc turbo, header, test pipe (to be installed tomorrow), cat back flowmaster exhaust, b&m short shifter (to be installed tomorrow), and the cold air intake I got with the turbo.

Goign to hopefulyl get a group dyno with vince and a few others soon.

Want to take it to the track as soon as everything is on. I got a 17.5 with just exhaust before. Im manual BTW.

The install is about a 6-8 hour install is what I have heard. Might be long if you have never done anything like taht before. I let RRM do my install because I really wouldnt have had the time and I know they do very good quality work.

I think that about sums it up.

Congrats on the turbo kit, and of course I wish I had the money to buy one myself. Then again, if I had the money, I wouldn't be driving a Lancer.

As for the turbo kit, the piping is made from tubular bends. It's not really all that bad, comes right between mandrel and crush bends. If RRM did buy the equipment to do the mandrel bends the price of the kit would increase significantly because that equipment costs a lot of money. A good trade off if you ask me.
