does your car have anything else done to it? b/c if not that would be just plain stupid for me i've put over 6grand into my car.... i just purchased 2grand worth parts to rebuild my bottom end and get everything boost ready and soon i'll be putting a turbo on it.
It has rims, a bodykit, head and tail lights, etc. It's also got a CAI, and a generic exhaust. But pretty much the reason i bought the car in the first place was because i figured i could turbocharge it easily without too much hassle. I used to have a Mazda MX-6 which was quite fast, but i love Forced induction and it just wasn't in the equation for that car. It was running about 14.4 all motor, but i would have preferred to be there with boost.

BTW slow, whats an MBC, and what are egt's?

Sorry i guess i'm kind of a newbie when it comes to mitsubishis and forced induction.
