best i’ve seen is boost juicin performance, they do a run in run out package which is the basically the whole fundamental kit for 3500 i think.. if it’s a CVT i wouldn’t bother unless you really LOVE your lancer since you’re limited to roughly 5-6psi, and a larger tranny inter cooler would most likely be recommended, manual i’ve seen a guy boost it to 10psi getting around the 6s 0-100 on a manual, had it on for 40k kms wth no issue but changed tranny fluid every 20km and engine at 10km, tbh in NSW you can pick up a stock evo x for 20-30k yeah they’re limited but really it depends if it’s worth it or not to you. like said just for fundamentals it would cost say 4-6k with low power gain, if you want to go all out like said above you’re looking at spending some real big money!

Yes you can turbo a 2.4l.
It's not recommended if you have cvt transmission.
I would only go low boost and always have cash ready to replace the engine if it blows up.

Probably better off buying a Ralliart or Evo imo. Long term it'll be almost the same in running costs/maintenance.

agreed, unless you find a real good deal, take care of it and know exactly what you’re doing it’s not worth it! but hey a lancer in the high 5 to low 6s is something no one expects
