Want to upgrade my 4g18 Local CS3 lancer

Hey guys, I'm looking at upgrading my 4g18 local cs3 lancer 2005, and was wondering what I can do to have more fun with my car?

I was thinking to buy an unregistered Evo IX MR RS, and swap over everything (including body), but it would cost about $100,000 for that Evo 9.

There's also the 4G93T route...which I'm considering as well since it's already FWD, so I won't need to fabricate the spare tyre location to fit a differential.

Or what about an RB20 swap? Not sure if anyone ever tried putting an RB20 in that engine bay. Would it even fit?

Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated :)

That 4G18 could handle a turbo? lol
btw I forgot to mention it's automatic with CVT tranny.

The reason why i'm considering buying the complete evo is because I read it's not as simple as swapping out engines...since the 4g63t is significantly heavier.
