I bought the Red, other than that the HTA Green looks nice and the new HKS BB unit looks like to be a killer turbo. I feel the Red is an excellent street turbo, I have only driven the car twice and I am already adjusted to the “Lag”. You need to understand one thing, lower boost on the Red will make higher power then that IX turbo, so even though the IX spools faster, you still have a very usable power band with the Red at lower boost. I find that I don’t have to adjust my driving habits at all, the car feels great when I mob around town, so I would suggest at least an FP RED or Green, get some power, AFAIK the only turbo to spool faster than OEM are the new HKS unit and the TME Turbo.

studs found!
Advance Auto Parts has these exact stud replacements in stock! That made my week! It would have been like $8 at the dealer. I got 3 studs in this pack with other pieces of hardware for $6. If anyone else is looking for these, they're made by Dorman, part #3400.

Mitsubishi exhaust fasteners have always been a one time use thing for me. I always use high temp anti-seize and properly torqued them and yet it never fails, I always have one gall up and strip out on me when removing them. If they are all new, they are usually good for one time on-off anything after that is sketchy.
