How do you know

[ChefTank]

hey guys,

i am new to the turbo group but not the tuner one. i recently purchased an 05 GT ($10995) w/6500 miles and the 5 speed tranny (auto is for people who eat breakfats on the way to work). correction i stole it. the best part is i bought it because i told my wife we need a family car =) any way, no more chit chat. i have been looking around the site i joined for this thread, How can you tell if you have a stage one kit? aside from manually check you flow capcity of your injectors... and looking for a different ECU/PCM which i don't know what the stock one is supposed to look like.
After nosing around under the hood i noticed that she already has mopar plug wires and Denzo iridium plugs... oh yeah and an external waste gate BOV. if any one has any guesses i would appreciate it, i would take it to the dealership ship but i do live in alabama, and if it ain't a truck they don't care.

As you have an '05 the injectors will not tell you anyway as only the '03 PTs get larger injectors with a Mopar Stage 1 kit, all others '04 & up already have the larger 577cc/min injectors, if it was installed by the previous owner as a new PCM and nor a reflash, the if you perform the "Key Dance" like you would do to check for codes when you have a check engine light then you should have a P0633 code where the odometer is, and that will indicate that a Stage 1 PCM has been installed, other than that the only other way to tell is to remove the PCM and see if is has a Sticker on it that says "Mopar Stage 1" and another one that says use Premium Fuel only, sometimes you can see the sticker without removing it, but not always.

In case you did not know about the "Key Dance" you turn the key in the ign switch to on (not start) and back off 3 times in 5 seconds or less stopping with the key in the on position, it will show any codes you may have and then show "Done" at the end or if there are no codes.

Not all codes will light the Red "CEL" (Check engine light), only things that effect emissions, safety, or driveability that should be looked at right away will set the light, there are lots of other things that will leave a code in memory, but not set the light, also things that may have happened but went away for some reason, and are not what is called a "hard fault" right now, also the Stage 1 PCM if installed will ignore a lot more codes that the stock PCM would set the light for, like overboost etc. that is another nice thing about the Mopar Stage 1 PCM, it is very forgiving when you start to mod other things above Stage 1 power levels, ie higher boost, more fuel etc.
The 0633 code is not eraseable and will always be there with a Stage 1 PCM, unless a dealer with a DRBIII Scan/Flash tool that knows how to reprogram your SKIM code will be able to do away with that code, it even tells you on the Mopar Stage 1 install sheet that this code will be there and not to worry about it.
