Forced Performance Mitsubishi Evo 9 Green FP54 Turbocharger Journal Bearing SS Turbine Housing

The stainless steel turbine housing on this Forced Performance FP54 turbocharger is a key detail, offering improved resistance to heat and corrosion compared to cast iron alternatives. This is a journal bearing turbo, a design known for its robustness and ability to handle high exhaust gas temperatures, making it a solid choice for performance builds on your Mitsubishi Evo 9. The FP54 designation refers to the specific compressor and turbine wheel combination, tuned for a particular powerband that balances responsiveness with top-end flow.

Forced Performance has a well-known reputation in the Evo community for building reliable, high-performing turbochargers. This unit is designed to be a direct replacement for the stock turbocharger, simplifying the installation process. The journal bearing design means it requires proper oil feed and drain lines, and it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's break-in procedure to ensure longevity. Expect a noticeable increase in power and torque, especially in the mid-to-upper RPM range, compared to the factory unit.

When installing this turbocharger, ensure your oil and coolant lines are in excellent condition, as a clean and consistent supply of both is vital for journal bearing turbos. It's also recommended to have your fuel system and engine tuning checked or upgraded to take full advantage of the increased airflow this turbo provides. This turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
