Actually, having a Mitsubishi turbo isn't much of a shock; car companies in Japan (and Japanese business in general) don't "compete" in the same sense that we have in the US and Europe. If the "other guy" makes a part or component for cheaper than you can or better than you can, it is almost your obligation to buy from them, from that point of view. Many, many parts from Japanese cars (and even motorcycles) are interchangable.

Note that I said ironic, not shocking

FEH! When Mitsubishi can manage to keep an EVO running for more than one WRC race or actually make more than 1/4 of the races for the season, THEN I will consider them to be a worthy rival. As it is, they can't even field a car.
