Preface: I'm a 20+ year Mitsubishi guy. Chuck replaced our 2011 Juke SV.
Does anyone have specs on the turbocharger itself? I see "M12 A/R 0.44" on the compressor housing, but haven't dug deeper. A cursory google brings no joy. I thought it might be Mitsubishi, since they do a LOT of OE turbos (and the PCM under the hood appears to have been made by Mitsubishi), but maybe it's Garrett?
The tiny Mitsubishi TF035HL8-13T on the Juke's MR16DDT is perky and delivers a better power-to-weight ratio than the CX-50, but it runs out of steam in the top end. The CX-50, on the other hand, pulls all the way to redline—at least through 80mph in third gear. Just when you expect it to get winded, it grabs the next gear and you're approaching exit velocity.
I'm legit curious about the snail in the blanket under the hood. Anyone?
TIA
