i went into the forums section of that blazt site, and it is not compatible with ca18de or ca18det.

apparently the ECU is not able to interface because it does not speak the right "language"

Hmmmm, looks like a Mitsu Turbo from an evo 8/9.

Did you ever get that thing running and what kinda numbers are we looking at under the curve?? Whats the threshold like on that thing??

I know on those evo boys make massive (upwards of 400+bhp) with them with relatively rediculous boost threshold and spoolup (although even stock, there is still nothing below 3k). But, since we have ~189cc less, I was thinking the curve might be moved to the right.

The turbo is a 3071r, on a ssac mani. The car is down for now. I have been working way to many hours to even look it at it. My brothers car is finished now so I guess it is time to get mine done.

Thats what I thought.

I was trying to ellude to the fact that were you not the one setting up a custom mani and such for a Mitsu based turbo from the evo 8/9 or even the TME with its titanium components?? I was wondering if you ever got it up and running (last I checked was you had an exhaust leak and thats pretty much as far as updates go for me)

I know it was just one question, but it makes it much easier to find answers to related questions later on down the road. I promise you I will NEVER give you trouble for starting a new thread on an unrelated topic.

Just helps to keep things organized, that's all. No hard feelings!

Sorry for the late reply.

RalliartRsX - I think you are thinking of Not a sr ( i believe thats his screen name). Im still waiting on a couple of parts, but I hope to have her running before the end of this month and then dyno tuned by the end of Jan. I was hoping to get a custom manifold made, but I'm running out of patience. I might see if can't convince full-race to fab one up, otherwise I will just use this ssac and hope for the best.

MasterZenki- I will be sure to keep you up to date with the progress, but its slow going right now. I appreciate the interrest. Realistically I can probably have her running next week if everything goes as planned.
