Mitsubishi Evolution NG-1 "Vitamin B"


A mild upgrade for the Mitsubishi Evolution cars, series IV through IX. This turbocharger is a simple concept: Take the innovative reverse rotation turbocharger from the EVO IV-IX cars and improve it. Other shops have tried, and have been able to only produce what seem like hallucinations. Don't settle on turbos that don't make power, the NG-1 is like a nice heavy dose of Vitamin B-it ends hallucinations of "white rabbits" or alice and the mad hatter magically making power from nothing. If you're seeing white rabbits, or know someone else who is obviously hallucinating, Vitamin B always does the job, stops the delusions of power, and sets the world right again.

This turbocharger uses the standard size turbine wheel and bearing housing as the turbo found on the EVO series of cars, and improves everything else. This means that this turbo is a direct replacement for the factory turbocharger found on this legendary series of car-remove the old turbo, put this one on. It’s that simple.

What this turbocharger doesn’t use from the original design is the small turbine housing and small compressor wheel and compressor cover. The turbine housing on this turbo is good for a 30horsepower gain over the stock unit. The compressor cover and wheel combination is good for even more.

This turbocharger is still undergoing testing, so horsepower figures cannot be released at this time.

All names and numbers specified here are copyright/trademark protected and are used for reference only.
Given that they dont even have a working turbo yet to test it seems that theya re the ones who are halicinating

Thanks Al, our attorneys said the same thing. We are trying to determine his physical address at this point.

I for one intend to boycott this company and I will refuse to tune any turbos they sell.

I dont like shady business practices and I want nothing to do with these guys.

Hmm. the names, particularly "Green" absolutely an infringes on your ™ and is hopefully a dumb oversight on thier part. Cease& dessist order.

However they/anyone has every right to make and sell all the turbos they want unless they copied something specic that u own design or utility IP. for, and can prove. But Mitsu turbo aftermarket turbo dev. is pretty wide open.

Since when is vaporware shady business? If anything after seeing how people jump to conclusions it's wise to keep it shut until you have completed testing and are ready to launch. Right?

Boycott what??! For what? saying the are working on a turbo for the Evo that is not released yet? They hav'nt even started selling them, how do you boycott them!!??

BTW not protesting against FP, you guys have a right to be pissed, as they called out your prouduct by name on the're web site.

Hey guys, don't misunderstand my position, I welcome competition - Why shouldn't I, I have to be better than somebody, right?

Just don't rip off the nomenclature that I have spent the last 6+ years building good faith in. Come up with your own goofy name scheme and leave mine alone.

The imaginary product is already getting way more publicity than it deserves. Hey maybe I'm on to something, I could start a handfull of websites for imaginary companies talking about developing products that having amazing properties that can be demonstrated at some point in the future yet to be determined. Then stirr up the net chatter about one imaginary product competing against another imaginary product and then ultimately reveal that all the different turbos are actually the SAME turbo made by FP all along. hmmm. So crazy it just may work, or maybe it did?
