    What are you trying to do? salvage the turbo or run the car N/A?
    It's not hard to remove a turbo at all, but if you want to run the car, there a quite a few things to do.

    Alot of stuffing around, I would wait 5 months to buy it. Would most likely need different injectors, different tune, N/A exhaust manifold, possibly a N/A inlet if they are different and after all that it will have less power then the stock 1.6l povo pack lancer.

    Yeah it will save a lot of hassle as you will need a lot of bits n/a mani etc and ecu even then i don't think it will run right probably over fuel and stall it self just tell him to buy a cheapie run around till he can drive a turbo

    I was just about to say before I red this that generally if its factory charged it usually runs a different compression to N/A so will run like crap without the charger.....
