Thinking of trying this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mitsu...81510004r16164
I know, i know. its a tiwain knock off. but its sooo hard to not try it. for only 200.00 bucks. Im currently on the stock 8 turbo and thought wtf, might as well try it. Im not sure if i can just swap every other part over tho. any venders or turbo gurus know if im overlooking something to hook this up. please be kind. ive all ready admitted it could be a waste. its like going to the dollar store, you just cant help but buy the crap . I plan on going with sumpin else, but thought this would be a good way to keep with all my other mods till the other thing goes on. let the bashing begin.

yeah, but what exaclty am i paying for? a comp cover and a wheel. If it dont work, at least i didnt spend 1500 on a rainbow turbo and cry about it like some have. just trying new things is all. i know, how dare me stray from heard huh? baaahhh baaahhh says the sheeple.

At 170k rpms that compressor wheel disintegrates and your engine eats it. Not a good Idea to me. But Ive seen worse. Try it.

Just tryin save your hard earned 200 bucks, but whatever buy your ebay kit and let us know what comes of it. Not sure why you would put that on your car when you have pretty good numbers as it is.

At the very least i can use the comp housing and get an evo 9 turbo for 200. Ive been thinking about that blade. Im curious as to who makes it. Im skeptical about using it trust me. the last thing i want is a 100 comp blade toasting my built motor.
