turbos added to economy cars generally add very little power.  in the range of 20-35whp/wtq.  i'm guessing with the rising costs of after market turbo kits it will be in the range of $3,500-$5,000, which in my opinion is not very much bang for your buck.  also there is no way any dealership would warranty an after market turbo kit unless it was designed by Mitsubishi's engineers.  You've got a really nice brand new car bro.  Don't go and ruin the integrity of the motor.

My guess is you have a kit confused with the new Lancer Ralliart which is a de-tuned version of the EvoX.  Similar to the Impreza, WRX, STI trio.

yep the ralliart will be AWD, hence Rally in the name and hence it being the Mitsubishi version of the WRX.

no one will know until the ralliart is out.  factory numbers claimed by the manufacturer aren't as real as track numbers.  all i know is that driver skill will most definitely play a roll in which car gets around a track quicker.
