Default The Changing Face of Stage II

The Stage II Upgrade Kit (Under Development)

Target Output - 260 hp and 280 ft-lb of torque (subject to change)

* Stage II PCM
* Turbo Toys Hardware and Components
* 682 cc/min Fuel Injectors
* Wastegate Actuator
* 3.0 Bar MAP Sensor
* 3.0 Bar TIP Sensor
* 2.5-Inch Cat-Back Exhaust System (optional)
* Target Release - December 2003

--------------------------------

Now, the Stage II will use the existing turbo. However, it will have a new Wastegate Actuator. These specs were introduced at the Tuners Gone Wild get together in Atlanta over the past weekend, and are geared toward the SRT-4 Crowd. I am guessing the PT owners will get the same kit.

This will prove that the engine can make up to 260 hp with the addition of further electronic programming and minor hardware additions.

It appears that the addition of more fuel, wider range sensors and new wastegate actuator make the difference; when the new PCM allows them to.

Still no change in the internals of the engine.

I wonder just how much performance we are sitting on top of, waiting for DCX to sell us the Keys.

The new-age installment plan is born!

Apparently, only Stage III is slated to get the new turbo now, and won't be offered as an optin for the PT GT.
