don't think i would go with that... and what is the difference between a T25 TURBO and a T25 BB TURBO??

always should check into each of the parts that they are trying to sell you esp. when boosting because there is a large potential to screw something up if you don't know how to tune properly... is that "black box" what they use to tune the kit? i'd be careful, bro

I wouldn't go for it. Not only have we not heard much of the site (unless i've been left in the dark ) but it's a very expensive t25 kit. I'm building up a 16g kit for about half the price of that.

The difference is using a wet-float bearing vs. very strong ball bearings. BB turbos outperform wet-float bearing turbos in general (if they're the same turbo :3).

T25 BB> T25, the BB means dual ball bearing. Basically it is designed to spool up quicker.

Also, that kit looks BS because the "superior" package doesn't even include a BOV.

i say buy it. That way if it fits or doesn't fit. We all know for future reference.


also, you should look into the "black box". i would ask them a few questions though, find out exactly what all the stuff is.

this would most likely a TSI KIT, a genetic Kit
I have been around lancer forum for times now, since 2003!!
I basically read all the of post on this forum for lancer!!
So far this is only three turbo kits are offered from three different company!
One is RRM and other one is this genetic TSI kit, and one from Europe RPW!
There was numerous different custom kits!
Custom kit is not too difficult to build, they should still be costing around $2000 to make the car run, maybe little more little less depend on your source and quality. Key to custom kit is having good manifold and good fuel ratio!!
Turbo manifold are currently offered from RRM (16G), RPW (T25), Turbo Element (T3), and TSI Manifold (T25)!! TSI Kit is only kit that uses Cast Iron Manifold, rest are either Log or tubular!!!
GOOD LUCK on your BUILD!!
