Just an opinion... If you're worried about power for those trips then a turbo isnt really necessary as the car outright stock can more than handle that. A turbo (and with the budget you're setting aside for it), may even affect something more important for such trips, reliability. I take most of my long trips up north and down south in my pick-up and that thing has only around 84hp but i can still do good time and enjoy the ride with hardly any hiccup.
If you want added power outright, it's better to just buy a brand new 2.0L sedan like the Lynx, Civic, or Mazda 3.

The Lancer 1.8 MX isn't in any way underpowered, even for an SOHC. Why do people need to be speed freaks in traffic anyway...

yup, digital guages "CAN BE" tapped! I won't mention names but a shop specializing in Euro cars based in Makati has the necessary electronic scanner/rewinder to tap guages of bimmers, mercs, and range rovers. this same shop sporadically imports euro cars for sale to the public.
The Lancer 1.8MX has decent power already! a small light pressure turbo (5-7psi boost) however won't adversely affect reliability. installing an intercooler and maybe a water injection system in the induction system will make sure the operating temperature will be within acceptable parameters.Last edited by woodfire; January 17th, 2005 at 10:13 AM.

an evo5 with 2k mileage is possible if it was just a show car or the owner used it as a weekend car. which i doubt since these beasts are normally abused and tracked around.
anyway back on topic, i think i read somewhere that CVTs are not suited for high output engines, not sure though.

btw, if a CVT always "calculates" the optimal gear ratio, what would happen when extra power is introduced (via forced induction in this case)?

since the CVT's computer is programmed to handle a certain level of HP/torque from the engine, the CVT will shift earlier in the rpm range if a turbo was installed.
