list of best mods that work

[coboltslab]

I would like to make a list of mods to build the best pt
given good product info on our ultimate Pt what mods should go

and I pick Stage1................[8]

[retroman715]

I would say first.....Stage 1, Adams UCP,AGP adjustable wastegate actuator,boost controller, a performance air intake system and finally a boost gauge to monitor the 4 squirrels on steriods
under the hood [:X].

I just installed a Hallman boost controller along with my other mods and all I can say is "This is a different animal!" The low end grunt is Amazing!


Keep on Kruzin!

Also, the addition of a TTABP (Turbo to Air Box Pipe) and Mopar BOV together with STAGE 1 makes for an awesome "performance enhancement package" IMHO. [8)]

It is hard to list in order what engine mod to make because they compliment each other. This is my recommendation.
1) SI.
2) Amx1397 or Adams turbo to stock air box pipe.
3) Amx1397 or Adams Vak UPP pipe (I.C. to T-body pipe).
4) 2.5 or larger Single "straight through" exhaust. Your choice, however, I do not recommend the Borla/MoPar exhaust and that is just "my" opinion. It is also "my" opinion that the BTG 2.25 single or dual exhaust would be adequate.
5) BTG, MaxFab or Truebendz DP/CAT and o2 Housing.
6) SII and the above!!!!
7) Larger I.C.?
And for the adventurous and mechanically skilled!
8) Adjustable WGA.
9) MBC or EBC.
And.........
10) Larger Brakes so you can stop the damn thing!
11) Shocks and Bars so you won't wad it up in the twisties!


Our engine, in its stock trim, is capable of some very impressive numbers. But! We have to remember that our little turbo is only so efficient and will just not produce LARGE numbers. SII, I believe, is pushing our turbo to its limit and if we really want to see a big improvement we are going to need a larger turbo, intercooler and the necessary chassis and drive train improvements to handle that!
Keep it simple and enjoy!

i would love to see a larger IC that would fit the GT

If you are looking to make Big power like an upgraded turbo you will need to upgrade the axles and the trans.

For a good mod to have I would recommend the Psi-Fi PowerPaq.

As for a larger IC Psi-Fi said that they can make one for the PT if their is enough interest.

Is that all you guys got?[?]

You should know, eh dude?! And therein lies the limiting factor for power in the PT - the parts ksquared11 mentioned can't take what the engine can easily deliver. Bummer.

Isn't that what I said? [:I]

go S1 first off. Dont be fooled into thinking that you can only "bolt-on" to make power....port your heads and TB. The addition of the AGP wastegate into the Cruiser world is a good step (but until someone ACTUALLY has in on thier car and gives dyno evidence, I wouldnt swear by it). Upgrade your exhaust. Look into the Mopar and Maxxfabb makes some great downpipes that will really help you out. The BIGGEST key however is tuning that fuel-hog of yours. The right tuning will give the best improvement and make all those mods come togther.
