me and my cuz got to test drive a PT turbo the car is a nice ride but did not impress us since there's lack of power being all computer controlled, if only you could install a G-valve then it would scream

mike you can!!! a TD buddy in Wisconsin did it to his PT turbo...has it set at 15psi and says no matter how you try to feather it it roasts them down the road. To put it into perpective he said they drag raced a stock Spirit RT vs the stock PT turbo atx and the RT was ahead a few cars...grainger in use the RT was trailing a few cars....

Hmmmm odd, looks like whoever wrote that article doesn't realize they do sell a performance upgrade that radical off the shelf. The Stage III upgrade was 300hp and 300ft-lbs.

wrong mo-rice see the stage III kit is not available for the PT turbo and this person who graingered his PT turbo obviously is too cheap to want to spend 2k for bigger turbo and other crap included to do what he can do with a grainger and stock setup.....

Its not "made" for the PT but I am pretty sure the major components can be retrofitted. Didn't it have something to do with the downpipe?

Who's the guy in WI with the PT? Did he leave it at stock boost levels, just added a grainger? Because the designer of the turbo components for the 2.4 turbos told me that they will be MUCH MUCH harder to raise the boost than just a grainger and zener.

i think Chrysler is out to try to discourage Grainger use but guys keep in mind if it works on a WRX...why cant it work on the rather low tech PT/SRT setup...low tech meaning they havent done anything electronically that could be considered a breakthrough in turbo engines..
