That modding thread doesn't pertain to a non-turbo Lancer, everything in there is Evo-specific.
Intakes and exhausts are not universal, you'd have to buy ones specific to your year, model, and trim.
Simple bolt-ons like these are generally easy enough for anyone with a basic set of handtools to accomplish either alone or with a friend.

Worrying about your rods and pistons is a definitely possibility if you turbo/supercharge your car. Not to mention it will immediately void your warranty if you ever have any sort of issue with the car and bring it in for repair.
I am bolding the TRIM portion of that due to a lot of things that will fit the 2.0 wont fit the 2.4. Also if you have the CVT (with paddles), there are differences between items made for a Manual, or automatic.
