#2 of 56 Mirrors by fndlyfmrflyr Dec 14, 2003 (1:41 pm)
This forum sure has been quiet lately.   I put outside rear view mirrors for a 2004 on my 2003. I had rented a 2004 Cruiser and noticed less wind noise around the side windows than on my 03 GT. The 04 mirrors are different in that they direct air flow away from the side windows.   The mirrors fit with no problem, but the wire plug did not match the receptacle on the car wire harness. Had to remove the sockets and switch plugs. Then discovered the up/down feature of the driver's side mirror is reversed (press up and the mirror goes down). Had to reverse the two up/down wires behind the mirror switch on the dash.   The plus is that the new mirrors are a little bigger than the old ones. The minus is that road noise seems more pronounced now that the wind noise is reduced.   The Goodyear RSA tires that came on the car have been getting noisy as they wear. Looking forward to replacing them with a quiet tire.

I've done the following to my '02 Limited in Inferno Red: five spoke MOPAR polished aluminum wheels, lowering kit, K&N intake, BORLA dual exhaust, shorty antenna, relocated front license plate lower (where it should have been in the first place), removal of exterior emblems, auxiliary AAOOGAH horn with console mounted button, blue dot taillights. I think it's the best looking, best handling, fastest stick Cruiser on the road!
#4 of 56 Mopar Turbo Upgrades? by antrey Jan 31, 2004 (6:37 am)
Are there Mopar Turbo upgrades for the turbo versions of the PT cruiser? If so what are the claimed gains?
#5 of 56 Turbo upgrades by fndlyfmrflyr Jan 31, 2004 (11:13 am)
Yes, for the high performance (GT) version of the turbo. The stage 1 kit costs about $400 and increases power to about 240. One should also buy a new style pressure relief valve with the kit. Performance is increased in the mid and upper rpm range. The stage II kit is due to become available soon. This increases power to 270. Stage III, from what I have seen, is not going to be street legal and increases power to 300.   The kits are sold VIN specific and appear, from the written no warranty papers that come with the kit, to give DC a way to void engine warranty if something breaks.   I know two people that have stage I kits installed and both are happy with the increased performance.

Are the kits "progressive" or do you choose the ONE you want?
#7 of 56 kits by fndlyfmrflyr May 15, 2004 (11:54 pm)
Don't know, but stage I kit isn't expensive ($400).

Has anyone done any mods to the "non GT" turbo? I have the touring model with the turbo and am looking to kick in up a notch.

I've heard the stage 1 kit also works on the non-GT turbo engine. Supposedly it brings the power to the same 240 as when used on the GT engine. If you check on dedicated PT sites (PTOC, PTE, PTCC) you will probably find people that have already done modifications to the non-GT turbo engine.
