Forced Performance Mitsubishi Evo 9 Red Turbocharger Ball Bearing SS Turbine Housing

This is the Forced Performance Red turbocharger, specifically designed for the Mitsubishi Evolution 9. It features a stainless steel turbine housing and a ball bearing center cartridge, which helps improve spool-up time and overall responsiveness compared to older journal bearing designs. If you're looking to upgrade the heart of your Evo 9's engine for more power and a quicker throttle response, this turbocharger is a solid option.

The stainless steel turbine housing is built to withstand the high temperatures and pressures associated with turbocharging, offering good durability. The ball bearing center housing is a key feature here; it significantly reduces friction within the turbocharger compared to traditional journal bearings. This means the turbo can start spinning faster with less exhaust gas flow, leading to a noticeable improvement in how quickly the engine responds when you press the accelerator. This updated design also helps with oil flow and cooling, contributing to the longevity of the unit.

When installing a turbocharger like this, it's important to ensure all supporting systems are in good condition. This includes checking your intercooler piping, exhaust manifold, and oil/coolant lines. Proper tuning after installation is also critical to take full advantage of the turbo's capabilities and ensure the engine runs safely. This turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
