Hello I'm new to the forum and I would say that i am quite the novice when it comes to working on my car. I can change the oil, dump the coolant all the things that you could get from a minor service I guess. But I have realized recently that my Red CE lancer is lacking something in its heart. A TURBO! I'm a bit of sponge when it comes to learning new things so I thought I will give going turbo a try, If something goes wrong I will suffer the consequences but that's why I am asking a few questions that have arose in my mind about going turbo and just that.
-first question is, what would be the best turbo to select for medium gains. I don't want to go crazy and have something of fire breathing monster just more looking for something that is nice to cruise in (she's been neglected for a little while).
So far I have found that a Garret G25 would a bit overkill am i right? especially if i only want a decent marginal increase.
-Now second question where or how would I find a downpipe that would connect directly to the stock exhaust sytstem? I have seen around here and other places that an evo 3 inch will bolt up to most flanges but then again not certain. I've tried searching on ebay for a downpipe designed specifically for going turbo with your 4g93 but to no avail! but seeing i don't really know much it makes sense as to why I probably can't find it.
-now question 3 I know that a 4G93 motor can handle a fair bit of boost. but how to control that level to stay below the threshold is my question, is that done through a Piggyback ems or a turbo timer? by the sound in the name it seems that the timing of the turbo is reliant on the spooling time between RPM changes.
-last question! for low boost do you need to have a piggyback or some kind of management or can you rely on the stock computer and a standard tune? which I highly f**king doubt because it can't do anything.
I just want to make sure i do this right and don't throw away money where i don't have to for my particular setup
