    And is there something more you would like to say, ronald?

    In a cost-per-horsepower calculation for low displacement engines, a turbo set-up often produces better horsepower than a supercharger... has less parasitic loss and heat soak (unavoidable with the complicated construction of the supercharger)... and it's easier to ghetto here in the Philippines...

    Of course, in direct cost comparisons, there are some supercharger kits that are as cheap as turbo kits, and while they often aren't as scalable in terms of power, they're sometimes more streetable... of course, with the right sized turbines, you can make a quick spooling low power turbo set-up for much less.

    And besides, this is a Mitsubishi... they're meant to be turbo-charged... anything else is sacrilege!..

    EDIT: That being said... there is a supercharger kit for the Proton Satria, which also uses Lancer engines, but as I'm not familiar with it, I don't know if it's for the 1.6 or the 1.8.
