Any ideas as to how much this would cost? He's got a new 08 Lancer.

Oh wow... that would be difficult. Turbo 800ish, custom exhaust manifold 300+, custom exhaust, 300+ again, injectors 400, tuning device (i have no idea what would work) either way your looking at at least 300, boost gauge 50, a/f ratio 150, FMIC, 800+, BOV 180+, clutch (no clue)... all that and maybe then some...

Nobody has done it so nobody can really say.... i wouldnt want to try it though

decent guesses. But My suggestion is to wait for the Evo 10. Because they share the same motor. It would be more with it to swap it in when they are out IMO

trubo'ing an 08 right now would be WAYY expensive b/c everything would have to be custom made, unles the guy knows how to weld pretty well. OHHH and speaking of the evo x. i picked up the new Modified last night and there is a good write up on it... it's going to be a Twin Clutch setup. 1st 3rd and 5th will run off of one clutch and 2nd 4th and 6th will run off another. this will be used for lightning quick shifts from the automatic manual and also grip harder. it will have 3 modes Normal, Sport Mode, and S-Sport Mode. you can prettty much figure out what they all are. and as most of yall know this evo will FINALLY come with the S-AWC!!!

I have talked about that transmission before. I mentioned it in the case of the new Golf GTI like 6 months ago.
