I'm still working on the MIL circuit to find one that works. I'll let you know when I do. I currently have the "bigjosh" circuit in on my car and it didn't work. I'll update you when I find out.

IILancer02II. DON'T go supercharger. If it was a twin screw I might say otherwise. But you are just paying for a shaft driven turbo, and plain and simple a turboed car will whomp on the SDS supercharger. Keep in mind that it makes 10 psi PEAK, not across the band. So at 5500 rpms it will make 10 psi, but that says nothing about the low ends etc. A good T28 setup will spool by 2K, so you will have 8 psi from 2K all the way to 6k. Should be pretty obvious which car has the greater area under the curve and thus has more average power.

but from what i've heard the sds has more HP for the automatic than the RRM turbo kit.

I konw eventually there will be dyno sheats forr both and perhaps two will race, so then we cna finally see which is better.

I think there may be a Syno on their site. If not I know that Ripp was saying that they were going to wait and tweak a few things a little more. Me personally, I would go with the SC over the TC. Actyually I wish I owned 2 Lancer's. One TC and the other SC. Hardcore!

QUOTE Know obviously turbos can be very powerful if done right. the only downside we've seen is that our motors do not take well to average-high boost without some internal work (on turbos). most dont have the money or the time, too much of a hassle, or do not see the point. i think most would agree that it's unpractical to tear apart basically a brand new car, just to prepare it for moderate boost. like most people have bluntly said, "you shoulda' just bought an evo". i think most are TRYING to save a buck or two. so that way they have a fun, reliable car to drive around in, without the high cost. most people/professionals would agree that supercharging is a great way to accomplish this. vortech has had much success with its integra/civic/s2000 kits. they produce great power, with great reliability. dosent matter 4cyl or not. maybe in the past. a major points is ..... what type of kit can produce good horsepower while still being reliable. thats basically what it all comes down to. QUOTE

i think that the reason is money, and what i posted above.
