To date particularly with the new models their is only one turbo kit sold in production that will suit any NA lancer, Road Race Motorsports turbo kits.
Now some people who might be new to the modding scene(by no means am i a professional) might think its quite easy just to dump on a turbo kit. What you really need to do is look at your budget, what you want to achieve out of it, the on going costs and maintenance wear and tear and the possibility (especially when your young) that some insurance companies are either going to rip you off or refuse to insure a car that was custom turboed.
Now ill direct this next part to current CJ holders, don't take offence if you own a older lancer as theirs more of a modding scene out their more than ever due to the fact that the older engine has been in use for quite a while.
Their are two current attempts at a turbo kit, they are the daily driver complete Road Race Motorsports Kit, it comes with pretty much everything you need for a stage one low boost turbo and the (what i call a failure) Xtremeboost's Turbo kit.
Now if your thinking well id like to go for a turbo that gives me some more power yet maintenance isn't going to be all that hard and its sort of a once of mod, Road Race is your kit. The best result from the kit is most likely what your going to get when you buy and apply, if you need further power you are going to have to spend big on internal engine mods and the best phrase that comes to mind buy a evo or a ralliart simple... unless of course you use $100 bills as toilet paper then tear some off for me .

The XtremeBoost Turbo kit, well this thing has dragged on for ages. It was pretty much promised to be delivered back in early may 2008 and has went on longer than expected. They have one video on the internet at the moment Xtreme Boost Dyno Run. To be honest ive got a 50 50 opinion on them but i really think if they can get a sort of DIY kit similar to road race's without the need to go get it tuned for each individual car then this kit is will be at least 1k US dollars cheaper and run at higher boost levels, safe enough to run on stock internals. The guy driving this done 10000 miles with it untuned without one problem.
Now on the other hand their is a genius in Australia who claims to have made his car(lancer with xtreme boost turbo kit) beat a evo X with his kit yet the guys spent a fortune and their is constant ongoing problems the thing is no where near complete from the last news i heard. Why did he fail, Most likely because the lack of support Xtremeboost can give you when your half way around the globe and quite frankly the idiot deserved what he got . And for the record if you beat a evo X with your car you would at least video record it not lie especially when your hunk of junk is falling apart and wrecking itself everytime you turn it on.
My advice(remember im not a professional but if you ask ryan i follow this day in day out hoping to see some sort of freakish advancement that will drive my impulse to buy buy buy ).
Really Consider your options, do you want it to be your unique piece of motorsport art or would you rather something that's going to be easier to deal with to begin with(evo,RA). Think hard and long but if you do decide to take the plunge remember alot of people including myself sit here and speculate without evidence, you will be the one adding to the NA modding scene and perhaps get Mitsubishi thinking(and don't think they sit back and concentrate on evo only because that would only allow the hondas and nissans and toyotas to get infront. They think about making their lower class range more power effective and more attractive to the every day buyer and will definitely allow them to sell more cars) as well as allowing more mods to come out all because it was given a chance rather than closed behind locked doors.
Cheers
