its just my opinion that the auto transmission won't be able to tolerate this much horsepower especially since when it shifts it won't be like a turbo respooling, all that power will be sitting there waiting to get right on it again, this would be REALLY interesting to see a turbo charged lancer vs. supercharged, great job guys, i hope you can provide factual info about this setup with an auto

only reason it took so long was they needed a carb specialist to step up and help (which i finally did as I wanted to turbo my lancer).

I hope that other persue the same path as it makes the upgrade that much better for the whole community

why isn't that pipe going into the throttle body mandrel bent? its like a cut 90 degree bend...other then that AMAZING!

also is that 11 psi on the stock motor?? isn't that a little risky with the stock pistons not responding well to high boost?

it does look funny with the bar running all the way across the engine...
maybe u could set up the S/C so it runs right above the headers...and pipes to the intake maybe? so instead of a long bar u got the S/C'r there etc. just an idea, maybe it wouldn't fit there i can't really tell from the pics. just an idea....

either way it kiks ***

NY State has adopted most, if not all CARB regulations. I'm not saying it's going to happen, and I certainly wouldn't know if it were happening, but if the tuner is from Cali, NY or any other state that has CARB laws, your chances are certainly greatly increased.

I think the TB 90deg piping is like that because it's easier to mount the water/methanol cooling on a flat surface than on a tube...but that's just me. It may have just been a prototype cost cutting/time saving method too.

The straight bar is one of their SDS trademarks if I remember correctly. Actually I think they look quite good in person (at least it did on the 4g64 Galant I saw it on), but the pic does make it look a little awkward.

Man, I cant do anything right in the eyes of the "RRM" crew. I say that people over-reacted to your comments, and you still have issues.
