    Its the Mitsubishi Mirage Asti / Lancer coupe with the 1.8 DOHC early Evo engine.

    The standard engine is N/A 138bhp, which is what this one had, some minor mods have pushed it to 150bhp. The intercooler was fitted so I didn't have to pull the bumper after the respray.

    Standard performance is on par with a GT - but the suspension was by Lotus and this really handles.

    To turbo you need - all from a GSR Lancer
    TD04 or 05
    Exhaust Manifold
    ECU
    Custom built oil and water lines
    Multi layer gasket (1.5mm) for boost over 7psi
    evo pump
    Tougher clutch - I've done this.

    I have all of the above except the oil and water lines.

    Output as a turboed car (roughly from the 6 or seven already done) is about.

    180 at 6 to7 psi.
    200 plus at 10psi
    Around 230 for a sorted one at 12 psi (the rods tend to break at one bar)

    300 up for forged pistons and decent rods running a ?? at ?? its basically all evo except 1.8 and tougher than the 2l.
