Okay, I've installed the kit myself. It's pretty simple, you do need new Spark Plugs though. I used Iridium LZTR6AIX-10 gapped to .039". The most frustrating part of the install is the Blow Off Valve. You can see it, but it's very difficult to get to the 3 bolts that secure it. After quite a bit of finagelling I finally got it off, but reinstalling it with the new thicker Blow Off seemed impossible using Hex bolts. I substituted Allen Screws and made a couple of cut down L wrenches as well as a Ball End Hex key and with a lot of minor blood loss I was able to install it.
Following the Instruction, I executed the MOPAR STAGE 1 TRANSMISSION QUICK LEARN PROCEDURE. I also installed a Vacuum/Pressure Gauge and an Air/Fuel ratio Gauge. With no change to the Waste Gate Actuator, Turbo pressure has increased from about 12PSI before the install to 16PSI after the install. Air/Fuel ratio remained normal at around 15:1.
No question this is an absolute must installtion. Gobs of increased seat of the pants torque. If you bought your Turbo equipped car for performance this is a no brainer.
