In the link above is everything pictured that is needed for the 2g install. The seller emailed me and said it had everything I needed. I just wanted to make sure.

He also said that it's a genuine mitsubishi evo 3 16g turbo for that price. It seems fishy to me but he has good feedback. Any Idea's on that?

It's not a real mhi turbo, it doesn't have a j-pipe, and it doesn't seen to have a oil feed line (you'll want SS braided lines)

Its for a 1g...I read in your sig that you have a 2g so you would still need to buy a 2g install kit

how do you know its not real?

Theres no cast serial numbers on the turbo, its that little plate. I would stay away from that shit.

because of that stamp, and because 95% of the evo3's on ebay are fake.

The seller is a liar, stay away.

thanks for the response. The seller said to me everything would be included. He was just looking to make a quick buck I guess. oh well to turbochargers.com for me

Now just to find a matching intercooler kit where I don't loose my fogs.

fyi don't worry about your fogs. Find the right fmic at a decent price, you can always put the fogs back on. I mounted my foglights directly to the bumper (my fmic uses the foglight holes) It was easy, and they don't shake at all, very sturdy, very cheap too.

I found the one that I think was from the group buy on ebay and was looking at that. It was like 330 shipped or something with all piping, flanged for what looks like the 1g (I hope so)

The add doesn't have much information unfortunately. I'm also weary of cutting the bumper but i guess there is a first for everything.

Thats good to ehar about the fogs. I was scared that the piping would fill the hole where they shine through and I couldn't have them on anymore. I have no problem fabricating brackets. I just didn't know what I would do if it took up the holes for them.

Thanks much!

np, I have a thread somewhere that explains what I did exactly. It involved fabricating some really simple brackets. If you just bolt it to the bumper it will flex too much.
