We are reproducing some pieces now in order to do the first complete install etc... THis week between holidays should have us in a good position. Plus we have a local guy ready to rock the first kit and do some long term testing.

sweet put lots of miles in and see how the engine temps go up with the FMIC, during long distance trips, hopefully not much at all

It isn't like RRM did something wrong with those products...v2 is just an improvement on the first generation...it happens. I know in some ways it can be annoying, but think about it like this: Don't you want a company to improve upon their existing product line to make it better? Take a look at the 1953 Corvette...it was a POS (so were the '54 & '55 production models). Now take a look at the 1956 Corvette. See? As time goes on, we get smarter and more innovative, and slowly but surely it works out for the best 
If you go back and read that post, you'll notice that even WORKS says that there are different springs for different purposes: WORKS ride springs, with a more conservative drop and are an "all around" spring, meaning you still get a smooth daily driver and they would also fair well on a track. RRM springs, with their more aggressive drop, make a stiffer daily driver and they were born from and for road racing. But ultimately, WORKS & RRM had the same intentions when designing their springs: give the car a low & aggressive stance to improve handling while not killing the OEM shocks/struts.
And as far as RRM turbo kits go: I really don't think there is a better one on the market for the Lancer. Any reliability concerns you have should be pointed towards farking up the installation of the kit, not towards the construction of it.

Mitsu will release a turbo car not a turbo kit. They will also release a 2.4 liter engine in the GTS so.............. Dealers like to confuse people.

If you drive the CVT, you already have a tranny cooler. Out of the box, don't expect to be running massive amounts of boost...probably between 7 -11 lbs. And you can run more boost, obviously, with upgraded guts but at the expense of reliability.
