Damn...that looks really nice, but there's no price? Do you know how much it is?

Also, it's cool cuz there's two different options- T-25 or T-28 BB

Not exactly sure which is better, I would assume the T-28

$2849 for the full kit with the T-28 BB!! That's not bad at all. Especially when it claims 75% hp gain. When I finally go boost I would probably go with this option as opposed to RRM.

they dont make a distinction between the 02-03 and the 04+ which would need a different kit

I've never heard of IPP before, but the kit comes with Garrett turbo and Garrett is what RRM is pushing. plus the warranty....Notes:
* Special Order Only
All necessary items needed for installation of kit is included. Manifolds come w/5 year warranty, and 1 year on the accessories. Garrett covers the Turbo. Install instructions incl. w/each kit & recommended injection control system settings incl. if applicable


NOT BAD.

Remember what they say and what they do are two different things. It would be good to see if they have any testimonials from people with their kits. But it's always good to see another option.

After more careful inspection I've noticed that the model years that they have listed go back to 98-05. Perhaps this is just a Mirage turbo setup being labeled for the Lancer. Who's going to be the guinea pig?

Considering RRM is capable of a 100 whp gain, that would be 100%.

They also have included a "black box." I'm wondering if that is some kind of tuning solution similar in nature to the split second box, but I'd just go with a SAFC or ECU reflash. But what you would be getting seems to be a great deal. With the savings you could go and get larger injectors, ported Intake and throttle body, and still be no where near the compitition in price savings. And that kit looks like it would make for a clean install. Hell you could even send the pipe out to get it powder coated and be saving money.
