Turbo for Mivec 2.4 (2004 Ralliart Lancer)?

Rock, wondering if you guys over there at Road/Race are planning on developing an intercooler/turbo setup for the ralliart's 2.4 Mivec engine, and beyond that if you are going to do the same as you did with the 02-03 lancer series and offer all the aftermarket parts?

There is a good chance it will have a very high CR.

can we try to stay on topic ... there are already 15 other threads of people complaining about the looks. I just want to know if anyone has any experience tuning the Mivec engines and if so what have your experiences been? Thanks

We would have to look at the demand for stuff first. I the demand is there, then of course we would make them go fast!

so we know that if the new styling has the kind of following the 02-03 styling had then Rock will definately be selling parts for it. Now all I want to know is how well does the Mivec take to upgrades? what kind of potential exists there?

You'd have to look at overseas forums to learn about MIVEC potential. Some say it's overrated and at times, definitely seems like it can be.
