Does it fit all 2003–2006 Lancer Evolutions?

WAI lists it for the 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 Lancer Evolution. Check your engine variant against the part number 11053N before ordering.

What is the amperage output?

The listing does not state an amp figure, only that it delivers the output needed for the vehicle. Ask the seller for the rating if you run extra electrical load.

Is this a new or remanufactured unit?

It is listed as new. Confirm with the seller if a remanufactured unit would also work for you.

Expect the alternator itself. Pulley and hardware inclusion is not stated, so reuse your original pulley and bolts if needed.

Should I upgrade instead of replacing?

If you run high-draw audio or accessories, a higher-output alternator may suit you better. For a stock Evo, this replacement is the simpler choice.

It is the lowest of the new listings, so it is a strong value against the current spread across stores.

Our take on the WAI 11053n Alternator

The WAI 11053N is a replacement alternator for the 2003–2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, sold under WAI's Gold series. It is a direct-fit unit meant to restore charging output on an Evo rather than add capacity. It sits at the low end of the new-price spread across the stores listing it, which suits owners repairing an older car on a budget. Buyers rate it highly and say it fits and charges as expected, though WAI publishes no amperage figure.
