:lol:

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:
