That article doesn't make Payn Tech look too good. They had to take it back to them 3 times for tuning issues that you'd think it wouldn't have. Detonation?

I read that article too, and now I am very hesitant. That article was with the Vishnu kit. Does anyone know exactly what Mitsubishi does for the upgrades on the FQ-400? I would think that those mods would be suffice for me. Top Gear has a nasty video of the FQ-400 smoking a lamborghini Murcielago.
Check it out!!

Congrats on your purchase! I just got mine a month ago myself (I went with the Electric Blue though) and I'm sure you're loving it like I am

Wow, and I just read that article and it looks like there were all sorts of problems after the installation. They left the car too lean. They couldn't get the O2 sensor to stay in. Then there was the sticky BOV that they couldn't diagnose.

You may want to look around a little more before having those guys do the work. Or you could enlist the help of some Evom fellas and do it yourself!

I just don't want to $#%^$% up a new car.
Thanks!
$2500 to spend? Get the Warrtalon package.

How can you go wrong with that power to price ratio? Plus it includes the tune!

For daily driving it's just fine. It's very smooth.

Reliability is great. You're really only adding an exhaust. You don't mess with the intake or bov or any other things like that. I submit it's probably better than a lot of mix and match mod jobs.

I'm not sure about the gas mileage, but I'm sure it's neglible. I say this because I had a lot of similar mods and averaged about the same amount of miles per tank before the mods and after the mods.

Finally, with the money you'd save by going with this option you could easily still afford a meth/alky kit. That's when you're going to see some insane power numbers.
