Looks like he's gonna be running 10psi or less with his setup just like everyone else. He should be good as long as he doesn't decide to up the boost and has a good tune.

[JRR]

as for the pistons and rods,
i plan on using this for a "boosted daily driver"
and to me at 7psi is more than enuf for me with this car. if im looking to do anything over that i plan on getting a car thats already built for it, and im already eyeing up an eclipse gsx. i plan on taking it down to ams and have them tune it or i know of a few shops in schamburg where my friend goes to school at uti. they have an evo specific shop there. both of them are all of an 3 hr drive from where i live just north of madison wisconsin. ill have pics hopefully posted later tonite.

[JRR]

heres a few pics of my mods already. most have been audio wise.

first pic:
alpine cva-1004 - 6.5" screen am/fm tuner
alpine dva-9861 - one of the best decks ever (i can run fiber optics!)
GReddy turbo timer used as a battery meter as of now

sparco shift knob

second pic:
GReddy oil pressure gauge
Greddy boost gauge (i figured since i was wiring one in id do them both at the same time)
evo 3 gauge a pillar

third pic:
alpine mrd-1005 - 1000 watt mono sub amp
alpine type x components in front and alpine type s components in the rear

[JRR]

i don't like neons either, but HEY! quit hating. Loving your set-up and happy to see you coming along very nicely.

I got the same turbo gauge on my audi go greddy! i also got a greddy turbo timer with it also. I think when u calculate bars its kinda hard and i think they use it in german cars only...i think? On the lancer i just got a regular boost gauge that goes to 30psi


Can't wait for the turbo man....go boosted lancers!

[JRR]

i think neons are to each their own kinda deal. i like neons hence in forth all of my glowing pc's in my apartment. but ya i plan on getting the few nuts and bolts that i need here sometime this week and then test fitting it together and making sure once again i have everything BEFORE i put it on cuz auto shops aint open at 2am!

[bcollinstex]

I'll forgive the neons because he's installing a custom turbo kit.
