The initial appeal for Michael Nguyen of his 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX was due to its all-wheel drive powertrain and turbo powered motor. Currently, Nguyen's Evo IX is modified with an ETS intercooler and piping, HKS turbo-back exhaust w/ carbon fiber muffler, Rota p45R wheels wrapped in Nitto Invo tires and VIS carbon fiber hood.
