we're talking about the Lancer Ralliart commonly abbreviated RA on these boards.
see here: http://media.mitsubishicars.com/deta...59056&mime=ASC
unless of course you mean the future eclipse which will be based on the concept RA. but that's a long ways off...

Lancer Ralliart is powered by the new 4B11 2.0-liter DOHC MIVEC intercooled and turbocharged engine (also used in the Lancer Evolution) that develops an estimated 235 horsepower. The engine is mated to Mitsubishi's efficient Twin Clutch-SST gearbox that helps enhance the sporty nature of the vehicle by allowing the driver to execute lightning-quick, silky-smooth, paddle-actuated shifts. The TC-SST transmission also operates in fully automatic modes for Normal and Sport driving conditions.

Actually it says "MITSUBISHI Concept-RA is powered by a new, high output, high-efficiency 2.2-liter 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve turbo diesel engine with MIVEC4"

when i went to the dealership to check out the evo x such a nice car. i was talking to them about the rallyart and they said, when the rallyart is released he heard rumors that the same turbo from the rallyart can be purchased through them seperate. and the rallyart will stop most evo x sales cause its a much better deal.
It's ralliart, not rallyart. I don't think the ralliart will stop evo sales anymore than the WRX stops the STI sales. If I had the money, I'd have bought the STI for sure. Anyways, all this is hearsay anyways at the moment, I would be shocked if they came out with a warranty approved turbo kit at all much less one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

i still think a ralliart turbo kit from the factory would be a brilliant idea. figure about $3000 for it and a fully loaded GTS with turbo would be about 25K. not bad at all. msrp for the MS3 is already 24k with no options. there is definitely merit for this idea.
