Turbo is fine with one TB. It's the N/A people who do every mod available, only added 20 whp, and then look to more adventurous options (like ITB).

You have to get out of the mentality of "if it works for N/A, it'll be twice as good with a turbo" - that just doesn't work.
So they dyno'd the results of this and got 20whp? I know when it first came out that was my biggest issue with it- costs a crap ton of money, tuning, and extra mods and dyno.

i believe he meant all mods before the itbs. rpw claims gains like 7psi of boost.

No, that's a rough idea of what you get with intake/header/exhaust/etc.

ITB is a great mod from what I've read. But I've never seen numbers.

I can't find it anymore. They redid their site, but I'm sure they could make you one if you really wanted it. Just contact them.

If you're going to go through all this trouble you might as well build a dual-charged V8 Lancer. You're asking for a lot of difficulty with something like this. It may sound super powerful and unique, but it's simply not cost effective, and it's extreeeemely complicated when it comes to fabrication and, moreso, tuning.


And "tunning" is not a word. Pet peeve of mine.
