are we talking crap now...wow. And where did you the 2 years on my eclipse from? are you getting defensive about something now? You have a pretty car in Ruerto Rico and you now high and mighty. You still havent commented about your fuel problem either. Come on man, if you are gonna do this huge turbo on your car talking 15 psi and 6 injectors, be ready to answer questions from the curious without coming back at them with "fast and furious" jokes.

As far as I know Turbo Tech said the only problem he is having is with the clutch. I don't know where you got the fuel problem from. He has a fuel management system and the only reason he didn't push the 15psi on the dyno was because the stocker couldn't take the power. Also where did you get 6 injectors all he said was that he had the capability to run 2 extra injectors but why in the hell would he need 2 extra injectors right now, he's not pushing that much horsepower.

Nice work and good stuff guys..
One quick interjection though just to keep some people steered correctly.
At 6 psi (might have been 5) non-intercooled with an automatic transmission an ES/LS/OZ lancer put down 181 whp. Intercooled should easily be up at 200 possibly more. At 6 psi... so add another 3 psi and you'll likely hit 230 ish or better...
Rough numbers in general.. but my point is the Ralliart put down great numbers and on stock internals and that's awesome. But putting a MIVEC into your non-ralliart Lancer is not going to get you anywhere at all. Put the money into a good turbo system with forged internals and so forth and you'll get to these numbers ok.
There are a lot of pluses and so forth to the Ralliart.. so if you are considering a new Lancer and can't get an EVO the Ralliart is a great option. What I am saying though is there is not ANY point to swapping to a MIVEC to go turbo. Won't put you any further ahead for the amount of money you will end up spending.
Later and keep up the great work!

ok, aparently I am nuts. I swear I read somewhere that he said something about fuel problems, but I guess I am crazy there. And I misinterpreted about the 2 extra injectors, he said he can control 2 extra injectors with the e-management system, not that he was using 2 extra injectors. NOW this is starting to make a little more sense. And it didnt take me 2 years to turbo charge my Eclipse. I still dont know where that is coming from.

I am VERY interested in all of this please dont think I am not. I hate those people that do nothing but complain and I would hate to think I sound like that. I had the problems with the Eclipse where at 5 psi the computer would cut all fuel to the motor without the AFC. Does that occur with the RA? Or did you go straight with something off the bat? Thanks man and I do appreciate your car please dont think I dont, but I still dont get the 2 years comments.
