thinking of adding a turbo to our lancer

[97chevycamaro]

I got a qouted price from a guy i know who manages a import shop of $3000 installed for everything that i can pay with $500 down and $500 a month for the next 5 months and I have to put a banner with his shop across the front. I dont know much about turbos so tell me if this sounds good guys he gave me a list of what it would come with-garrett t25 turbo with wastegate,cast exhaust manifold,chrome heat shield, downpipe,tsi blow off valve,tsi high flow intercooler,tsi injection control unit with turbo timer,aluminum intercooler piping,braided lines for water cooling,braided lines for oiling,all hoses,clamp,necessary hardware & fittings

Is this still going to make it reliable for the 2000+ miles we drive a month and are we going to need anything else to keep it safe and reliable?

A T25 isn't much bigger then my K03 turbos.
The T25 is kind of small but might be just right.

i called and talked to him and told him your guys concerns, he said the t25 is the rec. Turbo for use on the n/a lancers. he said it will add about 45% hp at 7psi. he said he will look into other turbo options and call back

The T25 is kind of small, but then again so is the Lancer's motor. At 7psi it will probably be good, but I don't think it will leave much headroom. This may be academic since I do not know how much pressure the NA Lancer engine can take anyway.
