I have a 2003 PT GT Turbo with 5,000 miles. What is the best air intake for the turbo with Stage 1 and without Stage 1? I also want to get the new plastic intake manifold conversion kit. Will this be a problem? I also want to get the blow off valve from Mopar Performance.

The best intake is to remove the silencers from the stock airbox, put in a K&N dropin, and replace the turbo to airbox pipe with either an AMX TTAB or one of Adams VAK kits......Anything else is just paying money for hotter air being ingested......

I have a K&N FIPK II and a BOV conversion kit. I am quite happy with the performance gains, and anxiously await summer for Stage 1.

I have the K&N Typhoon and I am very happy with it in summer and winter it sounds great and gives me a little more power which was confirmed by K&N with a readout on my car. [8)]

No performance gain with the Mopar bov. It's a noise maker. An open intake might give you a few hp but you will lose some torque. You won't feel any added power. You will feel a performance gain when you add Stage 1.
