Default 2006 Stage 1 KIT

Just received the Stage 1 Kit for my 2006 GT ATX. Surprised that no injectors were included. Heard that they were and also that they weren't. Now I know for sure! Another surprise. The Blow-off Valve mod was included. Go figure. Will be installing it shortly and report results

Only the '03 needed bigger injectors. Your '06 already has them.

Sounds Great, you will like the Stage 1, also only the '03 Stage 1 kit included upgraded injectors, all Turbo PTs from '04 & up came with the 577cc/min injectors stock, which is what the '03 Stage 1 upgrade was.

Have fun..

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.

Your air/fuel gauge was a wideband? The narrow band is just a light show on these cars and not very accurate.

Glad you like the S1 upgrade. Watch that lead foot.
