So you want a hairdryer on your FTO? Or do you already have a hairdryer in it? This is the section for it. All other big power projects & forced induction goes here too.

mate read the turbo section there is about million different threads all asking the same questions
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

Its not the lancer, we like most anything with a Mitsi badge on it. Its the turboing of a 6A12 motor..

+1


You'll need a lot of spare cash lying around to turbo a 6a12, just browse the turbo thread and see how much these guys spent on theirs.

Or

Take the 6a12 out and put a 6a13 in then convert to AWD. DONE :D

If you are looking at turbo ... Don't waste your time with the FTO engine ...

You have a lancer yeah ... Not sure if you said what gen you have, but the 4g63 is a better fit.. Mounts off the shelf will see that sucker bounce straight in...

Then if you wanna go AWD, hit up Meek.com.au, and they can tell you how much the conversion is, cause they do it... + you will get more products for the 4g63 + better fit, plus lighter, + easy to get more power and a tuner ...

just my $0.02

Plus less f**ing around, lancer engine bays are bigger than ftos. Not pretending that 6a13 conversion is cheaper I just think that If your gonna splurge on a turbo might as well get a better suited engine for a turbo........less problems down the track and more power :twisted:
