Got an email from them this morning.

yeap,me too...

I'm just not sure if they just woke up or something,but their info is "little" out of date.Just my 2 cents.....

 

.....another thing.I'm 100% sure ,that everything they know ,they found out here.Regardless,I realized long time ago(I said that before and I will say it again) that Mark has the most informed site around

 

Did you go to the link I posted? It is not the one that they sent . I found it under the new cars/Mitsubishi section of the web site. I hadn't seen this info yet. Click on the link I posted.

Hm, this looks the same as this thread: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...threadid=10696

...and if you follow up, you will see that this (http://www.japanvehicles.com/newcars.../Evo8/main.htm) site has even more info than the one above that started this post.

Mr. AWD

 

Titanium, Alloy, and Aluminum turbo...difference?

[EDIT]: Blue is not an option?

 

I believe Titanium is lighter and more durable.

 

The lighter it is. Durability on the other hand, gets questioned once under higher boost levels. I was told that for the high boost application, people still use regular turbos.

Mr. AWD

 

I don't think titanium is very durable per se. Meaning it doesn't bend. It's far more rigid though, I know that for certain.

My understanding is that titanium parts are best for high stress parts that do not flex or bend. I don't know about titanium's heat absorbtion, retention and dissipation properties, but I think aluminum wins on that from my extremely limited knowledge.

 

I hope I'm not overlooking the obvious, but if the GSR can be offered for £28k in Europe, why can't it be done for $28k here? I think we might get more than we are expecting considering what Litchfield has to say.

 

Well, 28k british pound sterling is actually more like US$43k.
Also, England levies pretty high taxes and tariffs on imports.
Finally, it's quite likely that not only will the U.K. get a slightly different version than the U.S., but RalliArt UK will hand modify and sell uprated versions (the FQ series).

 

Umm, yea... £1 does not equal $1 US.

 

Yeah, I didn't mean the value of the MONEY was the same. I mean if you bought a car for 30,000GBP in the UK it'd probably be around $30,000 in the US. Currency aside, the numbers are very similar.

 

Which part? The whole thing or the heat part? I'm basing this on my research into computer cooling systems so it's quite a stretch, but metal is metal. Only the application is different. It's quite possible Ti is avoided for heatsinks in computers simply because it may carry a magnetic charge or be too conductive to electricity.
