My new to me 2004 PT Cruiser GT

[rjc757]

Hello to everyone on this site. This is my first post here. I just purchased a 2004
Turbo GT from Carmax in VA three weeks ago and I love it. There are some things I've found out about my new toy that the previous owner did. It has a catback 2.5 inch stainless exhaust system. And also what looks like a Mopar blow off valve and K&N air filter with the silencer removed. The most interesting thing is the sticker on the engine computer. It says " Premium Fuel only and Not for use on pollution control vehicles". Is it possible my car has a stage 1 Mopar upgrade or other. This car runs alot stronger than I would think for it's standard power rating.

You would indeed be correct. your car has stage one.

Thanks for the welcome. I suspected my PT Cruiser had the Stage 1 upgrade. I doubt the dealership I bought it from knew the car was modified. The car only has 20,000 miles, which means there is some of the original warranty left. Hopefully there will be no issues with the local Chrysler dealership if I brought it to them for warranty work instead of Carmax. From what I've read at other forums the PT Cruiser is pretty reliable.

The dealership probably knew the car was modified, but elected not to mention it (LOL).
