Worthless waste of money compared to S1, to much good stuff to spend money on to waste it on that.

another thing, how the heck do people run larger injectors and setups on a stage 1 ? example: t3/t4,38mm wastegate,750cc injectors,etc,...... isnt the stage 1 set up for 527cc injectors?

Actually,the Mopar Stage 1 is set up for 577cc/min injectors, 527 was the stock '03 turbo injectors, the '03 Stage 1 kit came with the 577s, and '04 and up Turbos have the 577s from the factory stock, the bigger turbos and injectors require a piggy back fuel computer of some type, and a high pressure fuel pump, the Stage 1 PCM is just a building block for further mods.

so if I wanted to run a bigger turbo with a bigger fuel system, then I shouldnt waste my money on the stage 1 right? I was originally thinking of running a stock computer with either a TURBO XS DTEC or Apexi AFC with the bigger injectors and turbo setup,cause I intend on having a daily driver and I know the hassles of having a dailydriver with turbo lag,bad gas milage.....etc.So is my first idea possible?

One of the reasons for the Stage 1 PCM is that it ignors a lot of signals that will cause a Check Engine Light and set a trouble code, (like over boost codes past 15psi, injectors to rich and other things), All the guys I know running big turbos are still using the Mopar Stage 1, along with a piggy back computer, except one guy that is using the AEM stand alone SRT4 PCM in his Highly modified PT.

Thanks for the info, and one more question: Ive heard from one of the guys here theres someone who knows how to strenghten up the auto-stick for higher than stock HP. I think he's from PT-CREW. Are there any links to old forums on this site discussing this? Or maybe an company out there who does this?

Yes ,there was a trans called the "Power Demon" but they went out of business,(and it turned out not to be strong enough for the big turbo guys), But now there is great transmission guy called "AJ" who goes by the screen name tranman on the above site that you mentioned. here is a link to some info, but if it does nor work just do a search on the Crew site for tranman or Autostick, and you will find a lot of info on the Autostick and it possible improvements, by the way, that will be my next big mod, probably after the first of the year.
