Can you tell me why that's bad? I thought aftermark Subys used IHI turbos? And isn't that what the Apex'i RX6 is based on?

And I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything, I'm just curious as to your position.

So far every Evo has had a turbo made by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. I would just prefer that their flagship car (and really all Mitsus) have turbos made by (one of) their parent companies. So from a traditional, enthusiast standpoint it would be bad karma to me to do anything different. I realize the other Mitsubishi companies are speperate entities, but I woulld like to believe that it would make sense financially if as much as possible came from Mitsubishi family companies such as Mitsubishi Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy, and even the glass from Asahi Glass.

GReddy's turbos are Mitsubishi based. And, I'm not saying IHI turbos themselves are bad.
