Stage 1 is a PT Turbo upgrade... updates the computer and injectors, giving a pretty good increase in power.

Gary - thanks for the link! I had no idea turbo power was so inexpensively obtained. I was thinking $3 grand, not $350 (unless I just read all of that wrong!). If I read it right, I may be breathing some new life into my PT... he he he [8)]
Does one need to use 92 Octane after making the conversion, or will 87 continue to fit the bill? Thanks!

Gotta use high test with Stage 1. Also consider doing an exhaust and intake upgrade to allow the turbo to breathe better.

Is your Cruiser a Turbo?? You have to start out with a Turbo to be able to use Stage 1.

 And, you read it RIGHT! [8D] [8)]STAGE 1 will put a big grin on your face  whether you have a turbo-lite (180hp) or high output (220hp) PT Cruiser because with either engine the "S1 MOD" will take you to a screaming 235-240HP [8)] [^] with [u]overall improved driveability</u>. [|)] [8]
