did it come out yet I have an 08 lancer es cvt and I really want to buy it I hope it came out already if so ill be saving up to buy one

 

If you're saving up for a turbo you better be saving up for a new CVT transmission while you're at it. The CVT isn't meant to handle that increase in power so you have to run really low boost. For example the lancer in the previously mentioned link was running 4-5 boost and still had transmission issues. RRM may say the CVT puts down 220hp, but to get that you'll have to be running high boost and your car will only last a week before you grenade your transmission. Running 4-5 boost isn't going to get you anywhere near that 220hp. Don't waste your money.

 

well thats a bummer don't understand why its so hard to make an 08 regular lancer go like 100 more hp or 200 more hp, and my friend has an honda accord 4 door and it goes 200 - 280 hp

 

has anyone installed this turbo kit yet and does anyone have a video of it?

 

avoid like the plague if your lancer is you DD that you depend on.

 

why avoid it friend?

 

the jatco cvt in the lancer is not made to handle a turbo. It can do it for a while but you better budget in a new transmission since your warranty is not going to cover it. If your cvt lancer has to get you to work or school or drop the the kids off somewhere ect, then do not turbo it.

Besides that the RRM kit is way over priced. You cold piece together your own using evo and ralliart parts for way less. The 5th injector setup the RRM uses is finicky and difficult for tuners to work who are not intimate with the set up. I've also read in the past of customers being shipped incomplete kits and RRM being sure that they shipped everything would not send him what he needed. Also read that directions included for the kit were lacking making the install difficult and more likely of something going wrong.

The only way I would go with the RRM turbo kit if I was in California and went to their shop personally and had them install it and didn't mind letting go of $4600 (+install cost).
