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

Forced Performance is well-known for building robust turbocharger upgrades for performance vehicles. This journal bearing turbocharger is specifically designed for the Mitsubishi Evo 9, featuring a stainless steel turbine housing for improved durability and heat resistance. It's a solid option if you're looking to replace a worn-out turbo or upgrade your existing setup for better performance.

The stainless steel turbine housing is a notable feature here. It handles the extreme heat generated by exhaust gases much better than cast iron, which can help prevent cracking and extend the life of the turbo. This also means more consistent performance, as the housing won't expand and contract as much under varying temperatures. Being a journal bearing turbo, it's built for reliability and offers a good balance between performance and longevity, especially when compared to ball-bearing turbos which can be more sensitive to oil quality and contamination. This unit is designed to fit the Evo 9, meaning it should integrate with your existing plumbing and manifold with minimal modification, though it's always a good idea to check compatibility with your specific setup.

When installing a turbocharger, it's critical to ensure your oil feed and return lines are clean and properly routed. Using a high-quality synthetic oil and ensuring it circulates properly before and after runs is essential for the longevity of journal bearing turbos. This turbocharger is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for specific details and recommended procedures.
