Can I keep my air conditioning with the ETS Forward Facing Turbo Kit for CT9A?

No. ETS states the A/C condenser must be removed to fit the ETS Forward Facing Turbo Kit for CT9A, because the turbo sits at the front of the engine bay. That makes it best suited to a dedicated race or drag Evo.

What is the advantage of a forward facing layout?

Turning the turbo to face forward gives a shorter, more direct path from the turbo to the intercooler and from the exhaust manifold to the turbine. The layout is a common choice on drag builds where quick spool and efficient flow matter more than keeping comfort features.

Which turbos does it work with?

The kit is offered with Precision 6266, 6466 and 6870 Gen 2 V-band turbos, or without a turbo for Precision, TiAL and Garrett units in V-band, T4 open or T4 twin scroll form. H-cover turbos need a custom lower pipe.

Is the lower intercooler pipe included?

Yes, for the standard compressor covers. ETS includes the lower intercooler pipe, but notes that H-cover turbo options need a custom lower pipe that is not part of the kit. BA can discuss the fabrication with ETS. Check the turbo cover type before ordering.

Which wastegates come with it?

ETS ships Precision wastegates with Precision turbo orders and TiAL wastegates with BorgWarner turbo orders. Two wastegates and a dump tube are included, along with braided oil lines and coolant lines that mate to the factory connections. Silicone couplers and hardware are also in the box.

Description

ETS Forward Facing Turbo Kit for CT9A Mitsubishi Evo 8 and 9

ETS’s Forward Facing Turbo Kit for CT9A Mitsubishi Evo 8 and 9 turns the turbo to face the front of the car, a layout built around a short, direct charge path. A 3.0-inch V-band O2 housing joins a downpipe with a flex section, twin wastegates handle boost, and the lower intercooler pipe is included. It is a race-car layout: the A/C condenser must come out, so this is not the kit for a comfortable street Evo.

Turbo and Flange Choices

Precision Gen 2 V-band turbos are offered, along with no-turbo versions for Precision, TiAL and Garrett turbos in V-band, T4 open or T4 twin scroll form. Precision orders ship with Precision wastegates and BorgWarner orders with TiAL.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
