I found a way to install twrp on my mi max with locked bootloader using EDL mode.
NB! This will reformat the phone so you should take a backup if you got something you want to keep on the phone.
NB! DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!
To get into EDL mode I followed thi guide:

I turned off the phone and pushed vol+ and connected the usb to the PC. Then I installed the qualcom drivers.
I downloaded a fastbootimage

I also downladed twrp:

I used 7zip to unpack fastbootimage.
Inside I found the folder with images and a recovery.img file. I renamed twrp file to recovery.img and replaced the one in images.
I then used miflasher and flashed the fastbootimage using clean option.
After flashing I diconnected the phone from pc and rebooted into recovery "power and vol+"
Now I had TWRP and could wipe and install ROMS etc.
I installed the ROM I found here

This was a much better ROM than the china-rom
