K&N can make all the filters they want but if you go with RRM SRI you at least know your getting a high quality item from people that are focused on your car only. 4k for a turbo kit for a car that's not even a year old is awesome. When you guys run the 1/4 or if you do, you gotta let me know your time. I'm really curious to see the max potential of the car.

And guys, keep in mind that no car has a slew of parts when it's first released, especially when the manufacturer redesigns the next years model. If you want parts, expect to pay more than what a 90's or even an 04 is paying for them.

Back on topic? you guys got anything new on the RRM lancer? I love pics

To help people out, I spent 1000$ just on an exhaust for my car. People are spending 2000$ on just a turbo, no other parts and 800$ on an upgraded top mount intercooler. What's included with RRMs kits? You get the turbo (1000$), intercooler (I'll be conservative with 500$), BOV (200$), wastegate (say 200$), manifold and O2 housing(500$?), all piping (probably another 500$ or more), ECU (lets say 400$), all miscellaneous hoses and wires (maybe 200$) and of course, RRM instructions and service which is priceless. Just with my rudimentary math, we're at 3500$ which doesn't include any labor costs or the research and development that went into making the kit. I wouldn't be surprised if my numbers were way off either. Try and find a turbo kit for the Mazda3, I only know of one company that is making one equivalent to RRMs (Tri-Point Engineering) and it costs 4000$ at an introductory price, it may go up. That's not far off what RRM is charging.
The new Mini comes stock turbo, it's easier to make a kit for a car that has a sibling that is already modified in that manner.

turbo kits i seen for the TC start as low as 2600 bucks and ithe highest ive seen as of now is 3900

lancers been out what like 2 years now? i think more companies should start getting on board now.
