Is there really a 5HP gain...

[Ian-PT-GT]

Don't you love all the diferent parts that there are between them...

I just learned almost all the strange things there are inside those rotary engines..

My favorite part: Apex Seals... The #1 cause for falure in a rotary engine[}]

The thing that craked me: No Camshaft! and no valves!

It is a strange little thing [8D]

Gary, I use the AMX airbox to turbo 3" piping...Besides it looking good it is a performance enhancement even if it does not show in the HP rating on a dyno...you'll just have to take my word for it (If you want to that is)......

Thanks everyone for your comments. From all that I've read figured this MOD should make my turbo engine "breath better" (maybe run somewhat more efficiently) and "spool up" a little faster so I ordered one which has arrived--a quality product!

I am really really suprised you didn't order the one with the top hose in seamist green....

Gee I am running out of things to show you at Mossyrock

I got mine about a month ago. I feel no difference except at WOT, but there I am sure I feel a difference. And I do hear a slight increase in turbo sound.

5hp? 2? 7? I wouldn't dyno my car, and I doubt increases that small could be consistently demonstrated in a dyno anyway with slight differences in ambient air and other things that can't be exactly duplicated with every run. But I do guess I'd find something upward of 5hp at certain points on the curve. I mean, how much HP increase does it take before you notice it with your buttometer?

I would say I recommend it, and once you get the OEM one off and look down the barrel, you'll see the huge difference in restriction. Like everyone else I've read post, I'm satisfied.

I figure this mod also opens me up to realize better gains when I put the bigger exhaust on.

Loyd, there is no Seamist Green coupling available for the AMX Brand X Turbo Down Pipe so I choose a blue one as it will go well with my accent colors--blue and purple. I'm sure there will be many things to do and see at Mossyrock. It is my understanding there may well be close to 200 PT Cruisers there--possibly more! Looking forward to this fun event and seeing all the "goodies" you have on your car. However, I won't have this MOD installed by then as I'm now talking to my dealer about installing the STAGE 1 Turbo Upgrade and Mopar BOV which probably will not happen until June so thought I would wait and put everything on my car at the same time.

Deen, it appears as if a half-dozen or more members of this forum will be at Mossyrock on May 15th. [^] See you there. [8D]

Hey guys, your mixxing up a downpipe with an intake. THis below is a downpipe. It connects to the exhaust portion of the turbo and is attached to your factory exhaust system.

Not sure about other intakes.. I have dyno'd my Intake, Uppercharge system using another PT other than mine.. he has stage one and an exhaust.. We took pictures so of the install so mid next week I will have an install page up on my web site.. www.prototypepower.com

Dyno 30HP over stock.. Now there has been a lot of talk about dyno #'s but that is what I made..

Everyone that has gotten my system is happy with the improved feel, look, crafsmansip..

F.Y.I I just dropped V.2 at the powdercoater today.. should be ready friday.. I did 5 powdercoated black, 6 candy blue, 8 candy red.. one chrome for a customer...
