Forced Performance Mitsubishi Evo 9 Red XR57SR Turbocharger Ball Bearing MHI Turbine Hsg w/o WG

This is the Forced Performance XR57SR turbocharger, specifically built for the Mitsubishi Evolution 9. It features a ball bearing center cartridge for improved spool response and durability, paired with a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) turbine housing. This unit is designed without an internal wastegate, meaning it requires an external wastegate setup for boost control. It's a well-built component for those looking to upgrade their Evo 9's forced induction system.

The XR57SR is a popular choice for Evo 9 owners seeking a significant performance increase over the stock turbo. The ball bearing design means less friction inside the turbo, allowing the compressor and turbine wheels to spin up faster. This translates to quicker throttle response and a broader powerband, especially noticeable at lower RPMs. The MHI turbine housing is known for its solid construction and efficient flow characteristics, which are crucial for handling the increased exhaust gas volumes from a modified engine. Because this turbocharger does not include an internal wastegate, you'll need to ensure you have an external wastegate and the necessary plumbing in place to manage boost pressure effectively. This setup offers more precise control over boost levels compared to internal wastegates, which is beneficial for tuned engines.

When installing this turbocharger, remember that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Proper tuning will be essential to take full advantage of the XR57SR's capabilities and ensure the longevity of your engine and drivetrain. It's a substantial upgrade that requires careful consideration of supporting modifications and a professional tuning session to achieve optimal performance and reliability.
