NEW Outlander Sport/RVR Turbo for MOD!

Just want to let Outlander Sport / RVR guys know we are doing a turbocharged Concept for Mitsubishi Motors of North America. They contracted us to turbo one but it does not have to be exclusive. We are looking to see how much interest people might have in this. It is going to be for manual transmissions only but there should be quite a few out there hoping for more power. We know this is going to work out great and it will debut at MOD 2011. We will update guys on this thread but I would like to see if there is an interest in us making this into a kit available to the public. IF so, I will take this into consideration when building it. I will post up some vids of the build in progress.

Lets see if there is some interest in this. Maybe I can build 3 kits now and take some pre-orders or something. I know i have had some emails over the last few months about this. Lets see if the word spreads about it and we can get something going. IT is kind of a now or never things for the Outlander Sport guys.

My evo is almost paid off and I am considering the outlander next but the biggest draw back is lack of power. I would be interested. What are your target goals hp/tq , price, ease of install.

This is coming out great. Should see 80 h.p. gains with big torque bump in the 3000s. Very cool. We will have most of it done by the end o the week. We use the 16G EVO 3 and TIAL, big IC etc..... Kit should be about the same price as the other kits once it is done. It is gonna feel great on that car.

Sport/RVR is done. If you have a manual trans one, you are in luck. It runs great and we can offer a kit for these cars now. SWEEET.

I just bought my outlander sport for the wife friday. I love it but it does need more power. I got two questions though. Why only for manual tranny and where can I see the vids?

VIDS, if you can include in the video as much of the installed kit as possible. How much do you have to move around in the Engine bay, On a 1-10 how hard is the install, What is tuning it? stuff like that would be great. the power is the one thing that holds me back from getting the wife one.

Trying to get more vid. We are done. The setup is not hard in stall. It runs great, maybe better than 2.0 Lancer for some reason. Install is a 6 maybe. Figure 8-10 hours to install which is all bolt on. If you are seriously interested about it, call me and I will gladly tell you all the details. We would like to know how seriously interested people are in this setup. I know it will KILL A JUKE

No video. Mitsubishi has possession of the car so they are doing what they want with it. The car is sooo cool though.
