Ha, that engine bay is stock other than the intake

I especially love how on the windshield it says "Super Charge!"

I wonder if they mean that they charge super high prices?

By the way I just called "Eddie". Anyone else have a cell phone that has nationwide long distance give him a call. Some dealership. He sounds spanish or something. Asked for him got him on the phone. Said hey eddie checked out your Evo post. He was like yeah. I was like so is this thing Turbo'd or supercharged. He was like it is supercharged. I was like out of factory this comes turbo'd. Why supercharge the 2.0. He said it is, and has 350 hp and an ecu upgrade. I was like dude look at your intake pipe, you have it going into a TURBO and stock manifold. All the is different is an HKS INTAKE. He was like oh whoops does it say supercharged? said yes and I do not believe HKS even makes a supercharger, and def. not for the evo. He was like oh just an upgraded computer. Didn't say the brand but dude is trying to F someone over.

Some people are just so stupid.

i believe his dealership is a used car dealership and this car was probably a repo, im sure he got the car through some sort of auction, do some investigative work and just look at the pictures, esp with some evidence that he doesnt sound like a mitsubishi dealership....

Supercharged lawn mowers are nothing new though...they actually make kits for them that make go in excess of 80 MPH! No **** whatsoever. It's more likely to be a turbo though, as I have never seen a blower on one yet.

a turbocharger is a super charger, so technically he is not in the wrong.

a turbocharger is NOT a supercharger... you have an evo man learn your turbo stuff. They both share some of the same attributes (both have a turbine and inlet housing) but SC is driven by a belt and a TC is driven by exhaust gases which spin the compressor wheel.

What is turbocharger and supercharger?

Turbocharger: It compresses the air flowing in to the engine. The advantage of compressing the air is that it lets the engine squeeze more air into a cylinder, and more air means that more fuel can be added. Therefore, you get more power from each explosion in each cylinder. A turbocharged engine produces more power overall than the same engine without the charging.

Supercharger: A belt that connects directly to the engine. It gets its power the same way that the water pump or alternator does.

dude... a supercharger is anything that forces air into the engine. so by definition a turbocharger is a supercharger.

what do you think the super charger does? it compresses air. the only difference is yes, the way they are powered, a turbo is called what it is called because it uses an exhaust driven turbine to power the compressor turbine. the cold side of a turbo looks very much like a supercharger.

i know my ****... look it up in the dictionary, it's as simple as that.
