Very nice vid. I keep hearing a chirping sound after the gas is let off into a corner. Is that the BOV or anti-surge mechanism?

^ yep magazines are in the business of being wrong a lot (sarcasam on). You may be correct but there is no reason to believe it's not what it says it is.

If you watched it till the end it says the test was done on 11-06 looks current to me.

If so glad to see them back in action.

wasnt mitsu supposed to come back with a new car? that could just be there old car being driving by some other driver remember how earlier in the 06 wrc season galli (or something similar to that) some italian guy was driving it in rally mexico and soem other ones here and there, but it wasnt a a full manufactures car

nice vid kim
good find
manufacturers have been known to test new tech and equipment under the guise
like what they did on the IX for the X evo
enthusiast like us benefit from manufacturers participation and exposure to motorsports
more so evo enthusiast with mitsu in WRC
just wish speedchannel would cover WRC again
that vid makes me wanna take my toy out
yeah-

I would say.. BOV fluttering? But I'm not entirely sure.

The chimpmunk sounds are the BOV fluttering - they got stiff BOV's .. the bang bang is teh anti-lag ...

the chirping should be something similar to a dejon tools leak stop kit. shouldn't be a surprise since mitsu makes the vales, they would know that you can make them not leak. i just say this cuz my car makes the same noise with less of a flipper dolphin talk sound cuz i recirc.

i think there will be privateers running the ct9a chassis for a while.
