The GT IS different than the 180 Hp engine. The GT has a MUCH stronger bottom end than the 180 Hp Turbo lite. The Turbo Lite is a stock PT engine with a turbo slapped on. Trying to twist more power out of it will result in a blown engine. The stock PT engine is just not strong enough to take much modding. Most of the people who are making big power have redone the whole engine.

I have to agree with MichaelDay on this, I've never heard anything that supports this claim, and to the contrary tthrift, parts manager at a DCX dealership, checked every part number he could think of for the Lite & GT - everything is the same.
To address quicksilverdon's original question: even if you could, once you put that 180HP PCM into the thing you'd want it out ASAP. Trust me on this - I put S1 in my Lite and would never look back! To quote Jeff Goldblum in Jurrasic Park: You spent so much time thinking about whether or not you
could, you didn't stop to think whether or not you
should
