A bolt-on, stock-looking ball-bearing Garrett GT30R with a twin-scroll turbine housing for the 2008+ Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution? Owners residing in California will eat this up. Heck, it even retains the stock heat shield on the exhaust manifold.
According to the company, this turbo will be available in two flavors, GT3071R and GT3076R (same except for compressor wheel size) and the larger one will support more than 500 hp without decimating boost response. There will also be two turbine housing sizes available (0.73 and 0.94 A/R).
We're intrigued. And we have an Evo X GSR project car. Stay tuned.

Car and Driver tried all kinds of mods that got their Evo well over 400 HP. The car simply shredded itself.
When you folks bolt one of these on, be sure your Evo's in a heavily shielded area, just in case that boost blows the motor's heads just like funny cars on Youtube.
Still, will be fun to see your potential 500+ HP Evo outgun the GT-R!
