Default Re: Stage 1 with dual stage boost and wastegate

Thanks for your reply. I think that's really good times as you said pushing 3900 lbs. Do you have a limited slip or a DSBC? I ask b/c after upgrading to S1, CAI, exhaust I noticed that it is really hard to really get all that power down to the ground and what I have read on this forum is alot of guys say the lim slip and DSBC will really help with making cars with our kind of power to the front wheels more driveable and probably would directly translate to lower 1/4 times.

if my PT GT wasn't my daily driver and if I upgraded with the LSP and DSBC I would see what 1/4 it could do.

You ever see the catsync and downpipe offered by BTG? Any thoughts on that? I've been tempted over the last year to possibly put them on the car.

BTG Chrysler PT Cruiser Polished Stainless CatSync System 03-Up Turbo - AutoTruckToys.com

So the dealer said that the bogging was due to having the revs too low and then hard accelerating.........we'll see. On the drive home I had no problems so hopefully that's it.

Thanks again.

Mike

No, I have not made any mods to my boost other than the Mopar Stage 1 PCM, and no, I do not have any type of LSD, that is why i have sush crappy 60 ft times and have to clean all the burnt rubber from the right front wheel well & fender after racing.

If you click on my list of mods in my sig, you will see the i have the complete turbo back BTG Catsync system and with that and Stage 1 that is what the dyno sheet on that web page shows 235hp to the wheels.

Back in '05 I had to get the Complete BTG system for my DC4 because supposedly Chrysler used leftover SRT4 engines & downpipes in the '05 Dream Cruisers as it was the end of the SRT4 production run and they were discontinued, the DC4 has engine code "S" in the vin, the only '03 to '05 PT Turbos with this engine code according to the Chrysler, and the down pipe was to short for the Mopar Borla PT exhaust system, my dealer went through 3 Mopar systems, and then told me that they could not do it with out a custom pipe extension, which they did not want to do. So I called BTG, and they confirmed the story about the SRT4 downpipe, as several dealers had contacted them about this "Problem" with the '05 Dream Cruisers so I had to buy the complete system.

But any way yes I love the BTG system, also it will flow more than the Mopar system because it does not have that in & out & around the corner muffler, just a straight through resonator, with two resonator tips, so you get a 2.5 in o2 housing, 2.5" down pipe with a hi-flow cat, and true 2.25 id pipes, (American pipes are measured 2.25 od), and it sound great, even my wife likes the sound even with the top down it is not that loud.
