something tells me it isnt going to go as planned but i have to be positive so hopefully we can get pics of the turbo in the meantime that is if he has it already with him c'mon just give us a teaser or something.

i feel that our cvt can hold way more power then people think. the mazda 3, which has pretty much the same cvt, can handle turbos. i've read on there forums about people with the cvt putting a turbo on and running upwards in 200hp and no problems.
Here's the problem, no one has actually put the transmission through its paces so it's all a big unknown right now. Handling a power upgrade for 5000 miles is way different than handling a power upgrade for 50000 miles.

the mazda 3 does not have a CVT, and the mitsu CVT will not hold much power due to the belt. Other CVT's in higher-ower vehicles use chains for a reason.

CVT Turbo
Thanks, you made me feel better. I also agree this CVT can hold 300hp. Mitsubishi wouldnt give this CVT 152hp because thats all it can hold. Always you have to give it more for it to last longer. I plan to turbo my car in a few weeks. I will post up data on the turbo CVT Lancers.

Fair Price 4 Quality Parts
i agree with you for the most part however, i cant agree much on the road race products. imo they make faily decent products but charge almost double than what other companys do..they certainly arent any INJEN,or HKS reputation but the fact that they are charging 5k for the turbo kit for both manual and CVT blows my mind..and i couldnt understand the concept of anyone buying it..for 5k you can walk up to mitsubishi dealership buy an OEM evo X motor with turbo..all internals everything..for 5100..dont believe me?..call your dealer and ask..
granted RRM does make good products and i have 1 or 2 RRM products myself but that is because no one else came out with them at the time..
so im looking into xtreeme boost turbo since they seem to have a more reasonable price... go look at the price of a turbo on your average 4 bangers around the lancer price range and see how ridiculous RRMs products are overpriced
i drive my evo maybe twice a week and due to parents i cant mod it...so the lancer is still my project car and i plan to mod it as a daily but no way im paying 5k for a turbo when i can get a turbo kit for my Si for 2000

I'm sorry to hear that you are disapointed with the cost of turbo upgrades and MOD stuff for the Lancer... My buddies and I have been compairing cost for upgrades for our rides... Most of my upgrades have cost less then my buddies similar upgrade on their different brands, like Honda, Acura, VW, etc... They are MOD'g '07 & '08 models too... In my opinion, the newer the model, the more $$$ for the MOD...

Extreme Boost, I am local to them by 200 miles. Their in Orlando and I am in Broward or Miami for those of you who don't know where Broward is.
? What are you talking about? 89 is pump gas and it's not even high enough for a turbo car, you should run 91 or higher.
