Check here.

Also, any turbo for the X will work as long as you have those parts from that list.

Just be careful, anything over 300TQ may cause tranny problems.

Check out the link below. CBRD already has some upgraded turbos to fit the Ralliart, and they are currently working on a new bolt-on version that will require less swapping out of stock parts to install.

We are utilizing the STOCK RA OEM turbo with modified turbos (think BBX, BBX lite for the evo X)...

We are also building a tubular manifold for the stock housing....

Our goals are a turbo that is slightly more potent than the stock X turbo.... in the RA housing... to save you some money towards the other supporting mods (such as fmic, ic piping, etc)...

We have combinations of wheels laid out, testing will be conducted before Xmas

is incorrect for someone asking about doing a turbo swap. That was just the point I was getting at.

Bryan from GST Motorsports is currently running a BBX Lite turbo on his new Ralliart Sportback, so that's what I was referring to when I said that CBRD currently has some turbos available that will fit the Ralliart. I never said or implied that it was just a simple bolt-on swap, so I'm not sure what the problem was with my original statement. Here's a link to Bryan's installation of the BBX Lite on his Ralliart Sportback if you need more proof:

im sure hes well aware of bryans car. However, in the context of the convo above you saying it how you said it makes it seem like you were implying they had direct bolt applications already.

thats all.
