Turbo kit from Mitsubishi?

Well my freinds I have been reading on alot or these forums about the turbo. Well i wrote to mitsubishi and included alot of questions i wanted answered and got my wish on october 8. My topic was when the evo x comes out in march are you going to make the turbo application available for the lancer gts cvt. The man from mitsu wrote me back and said yes we will offer the application of the turbo and all the components and be warrantied. So i am going to wait for the warrantied turbo and the right turbo and all the neccesary equipment its gonna be worth it. So i hope you guys are gonna be happy come march cause i cant wait

Yea, I bet they will warranty it if its installed by a Mits Service Department. Which means this turbo will break the bank, both the turbo itself and then the labor. If they can make it affordable, then this will be awesome, but I can see the price on this going sky high.

IF does warranty the Turbo, this is the best news I've heard since buying the GTS.

But yeah, I could see the costs being through the roof on this one. Start saving now...

Better off paying a little more to get it under warranty than to not do it and get it cheaper, and then have to worry or even worse have to pay out of your own pocket if anything breaks

the only way im jumpin' up n' down, is if someone else from a different region can get basically the same answer as the guy from New York.

ddubbzunltd, i believe your story. it's Mitsubishi i don't believe lol

I'm in california and im near Cypress (mitsubishi regional headquarters and R & D facility) i wonder if i could email them and they'd tell me the same thing.....damn now im really curious
