I live in North Ga I am the parts manager at a Mitsu dealer. This is not gonna happen I spoke with my Mitsu Rep. He says no not ever. Anyway Mitsu never has and more than likely never will offer a turbo upgrade kit. And another thing going a little off topic the 08 RA lancer is gonna have a 2.4 NA in it as well as FWD only. So if you want a turbo lancer do it yourself or buy an EVo.

Ya thats too bad tho i was hoping it would be a basic AWD system and a turbo. Then it would seem more a WRX competator. But oh well hopfully Mitsu will tell us something about it soon.

The Promise of Power To Come
At a grand total of just $22,615, our loaded-up Lancer GTS presents somewhat of a dilemma. Once regarded as a marginalized, low-cost, second- or third-choice cheap-and-cheerful compact, the Lancer now measures up to first-class status in many ways.
Now if Mitsubishi would just ladle a generous portion of motivational tempo on top of its nimble GTS chassis, it would really have something. Fortunately we've learned that's exactly the plan.
Within a year, there will be three more Lancer variants. First there will be a front-wheel-drive model with a 2.4-liter inline-4 dubbed either Lancer GST or Lancer Ralliart. Then there will be the all-wheel-drive Evolution X (perhaps with as much as 320 hp). And finally something between the two that will be positioned against the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX, which we believe will be an all-wheel-drive Lancer GSX with an inline-4 boosted to 250 hp with a light-pressure turbo.
