kenshin ( like that anime btw), I think it is up to you what you want to do. RRM's turbo is reliable if you install it correctly and triple check everything. RRM is not doing the install for you, they're just there to guide you. About the stage 1, it is fast and if I didn't have any boost/exhaust leaks, I would have pushed it to 5psi which is fast enough IMO. Supercharger in the other hand is expensive too but both have their ups and downs. If I have time, I would install back my turbo and make sure I did everything correctly and prevent those leaks immediately. The wastegate dump tube can be reroute easily. I'm not saying it is hard, maybe the people I go to just don't know how to do it and by saying it is a tough job, they are charging more for the job. So I chose to not do it until I found a shop that can do it easily for cheap. Turbo or supercharger, it doesn't matter. As long as you install it correctly and triple check everything, it will do you good. But investing in an FI for a car that is not meant for FI means you have to dedicate yourself in order to enjoy it(time wise and money wise). If something goes wrong with your FI install, it's your @ss not mitsu or anyone else. This is not the same as the evo where mitsu already installed the turbo and you are covered under warranty.

 

just heads up before i head to bed (and there will be much MUCH more tomorrow )

but ross and i had a talk today and he came up with the idea of just offering a single sds kit for the lancer. so now there is just the kit formerly known as stg2, for 4200 bucks. he did this cause the stg1 to stg2 difference was only like 500 bucks and the only difference was the boost cooler and how much boost you are pushing.

its just easier and more simple this way, after all the stg1 kit isn't really pushing any serious power, its kinda in between

so to reiterate: ripps only kit is $4200, 230whp on sticks, 200whp on autos. stay tuned for more
