I can't remember. IS that with or without the titanium impeller?

thanks

That's not true, the titanium turbo is an option on the GSR model, which is what the US Evo is based on.

I would find it hard to believe that we would get the ti turbo as the cost would certainly be higher than Mitsu is suggesting.

Although, I hope someone proves me wrong.

No titanium for now because of durability concerns

No ...in fact the first thing Ralliart UK took off the car (7) was the titanium turbo when building the Extreme and the 450 they found the impeller was unreliable when the car was modified...so now with the US version .......The only way is up!!!!

also....the titanium turbo was better for spool speed because of decreased weight....I think has overcome lag now that was present on earlier evo's, with their new exhaust manifold...

Also as I am sure you guys know the turbo rotates the opposite of every other turbo ever built!! It will make some of the bolt on Garrett stuff a little harder to do on this model.
