We will have in our hands soon an upgraded replacement turbo for the MPI and MCX kits. It will be a direct bolt on and be quicker spooling and more HP!!! We will also have fuel upgrade kits as well as clutching kits and other goodies coming soon.

We won't know until we get them in our hands and test. Based on past results, what you would see is the same HP at 2 or 3 pounds less of boost.

Do you know MPI and MCX don't use same turbo?
And do you know MCX uses 2 different depending low boost / high boost?
So it's pretty difficult saying any gain before comparing them all, on same sled, as in apples vs apples.

Tbird is correct. MPI kits shipped with the Mitsu 15G and the MCX with the 19T. (56 vs 58mm compressor)

The one in the pic above by Racinstation looks like the same one offered in the new YXZ kit from MPI.

EDIT: Looks like the Mitsu 14T for the Volvo

Yes. Perfectly aware. It is impossible to say gains before comparing, that is why no one has said anything on gains until further testing is complete.

I might be nitpicking, but since you call it an upgrade without have any evidence of such, i call it a bit misleading.

This project has been suspended for the time being. We are having a hard time selling a kit for $3000 to upgrade an existing kit, just to have a bunch of extra parts. There are some things we may still pursue, but we would rather install a fresh , clean, Boost-it kit that is proven. You will have more into the base kit and the upgrades than just hitting it full speed with the right kit.

As I said, there are 3 or 4 viable upgrades coming. I'll post when they are available.

OFT was offering an upgrade kit for the mpi 180 turbo for a reasonable price. You might want to contact Ricky at OFT.

Actually I think a comparison of boost levels is in order to get a real picture.

Turbo kit X set at 8 pounds of boost.
MPI Turbo kit set for 4.5 pounds of boost with EABC

Turbo kit X is 8 pounds of boost but at higher altitude might be only 6.5 or 7 because of thin air

MPI turbo kit with ElectronicAltitudeBoostController rasies boost a 1/2 pound per 1000 feet altitude until it reaches 8 pounds boost max.

While at Grand Mesa I had a chance to ride a MPI trail kit same as ours but no EABC and the difference at 10k altitude was night and day. Ours was running 8 pounds and his 4.5 pounds!

My point is as soon as you can get the working or replacement EABC controller, as 210hp on a traditional turbo is 8 pounds boost and the 180hp MPI does that at altitude.

OK guys. Because I wasn't comfortable with the initial upgrade kit that we were going to do, the project got put on hold. Well as of today, we are full speed a head on a completely different avenue that arrives at the same location........MPI turbo upgrade kit that is solid and reliable. It will also be a relatively easy upgrade for most guys.

More information will follow in 10-14 days.
