OK, you want more performance, so an engine swap is probably the way to go,
rather than trying to find a supercharger, or a turbo kit for that matter.

Q1: do you have automatic transmission?
If Yes, sell the car and get a manual transmission model. The fastest way to
$$$$$crew up a Mitsu 4cyl automatic transmission is to push it harder.


Q2: is your transmission mounted onto the RHS or LHS of the engine?

In the Mirage / Lancer, up to 2002 (AFAIK) , the transmission is on the RHS,
and is an F5M2x or possibly F5M3x series. From 2003 onwards, the
transmission is on the LHS, and is an F5M4x series. Consequently, the engine
is rotated 180 degrees, and the head has the intake and exhaust on the
opposite sides vs the earlier models. This is why you can't easily stick a
Talon/Eclipse 4G63 turbo into the later models.

I'm not sure about the Galant transmissions, but they likely changed in 2003
as well. If your Galant has the transmission on the RHS, then the best thing
is to get a 4G63 turbo complete, and do the swap. You can get 4G63Ts from
Jap engine importers.

If your 2001 has the transmission on the LHS, you can try to source a recent
Jap 2003+ 4G63T.

See my web site for the sorts of things you have to consider. Its info for
the Colt/Summit/Lancer, but its generally applicable to the Galant too.
