Replying to: marktkachuk (Jul 04, 2007 11:28 am) No responses yet. I'm hoping someone could share their experience. eBay also has a lot of listings for air intake for less than $250.

Replying to: winpeg (Nov 11, 2005 8:25 pm) I have had the GT 5-speed for nearly three years and never experienced this problem. In fact, ousdie from it being a tad notchy, I have had no issues with the shifter.
#40 of 56 Turbo Kit by crusinchic Jul 12, 2007 (12:48 pm)
I just purchased the stage 1 turbo kit from my dealer and I got a free blow-off valve. What a great buy! My guy said that it is some kind of special offer that Mopar is doing. I did a little investigation and found a link through a mopar website, offer ends September 30th.   http://www.moparturbopt.com/turbo/main02.html
#41 of 56 AirRaid Cold Air Intake by krony Sep 21, 2007 (3:18 pm)
Just installed a AirRaid cold air intake kit on my '06 5 speed manual (non-turbo). Certainly seems to add some pep, they claim 12hp & 5ft-lb torque increase: (http://www.airaid.com/300-198_chrysler.asp)   Only surprise is how loud it is...easy on the throttle and there is no difference but at wide open above 3000rpm it is really loud, I mean wow loud. That was a bit of a surprise but I think I'm ok with it. I'll see if it'll give me a few more miles/gal.
#42 of 56 Mod Chip 2005 PT Convertible by britsoft Sep 23, 2007 (6:23 am)
I'd never admit this if the car were still under warranty. I put a jet chip in my Cruiser about a year ago and it has worked fine, though I do not think it really does anything to improve the car's performance or fuel mileage. But then when you have a car with all the power you can use and it get's 24 to 26 mpg at 80 mph, how could you tell? I also have an LCD ODB Code Reader mounted on the dash that tells me real time mpg.

Replying to: burosky (Feb 28, 2007 8:30 am) I put a Jet module in my 2005 Turbo Convertible at 15,000 miles and with 40,000 miles now I can really see no improvement, if improvement is even possible. The car runs so well anyway that the mod would have to do something significant before it would be noticed, and I have not noticed it. With what I know now I would have saved my money . ...Bob Replies to this message: caligirl10 (Oct 30, 2007 8:38 pm)
#44 of 56 Tires on 2001 PT Touring by caligirl10 Oct 30, 2007 (8:38 pm)
Replying to: britsoft (Oct 07, 2007 9:03 pm) I have the 2001 Touring Edition. I would like to know if anyone has put smaller tires on the front than on the rear. Does this effect how the car handles? Do you have a photo of a car that has had this done? Thanks Nancy

Replying to: KarenS (Dec 01, 2003 6:23 am) I have a 2007 PT convertable automatic turbo with 7000 miles on it. Getting 17 miles to the gallon on average. I was told by putting a Magnaflow exhaust on I will get better gas mileage by 2 to 5 miles per gallon. Has anyone tried this and does it work. Replies to this message: tedebear (Jan 03, 2008 9:54 pm)

Replying to: wschell (Jan 03, 2008 1:12 pm) I was told by putting a Magnaflow exhaust on I will get better gas mileage by 2 to 5 miles per gallon.   Who told you that - the shop that wanted to sell you the exhaust?   It's true that better airflow, both at the intake and exhaust, will help the engine breathe easier, resulting in slightly better performance. However, you're not going to see anywhere near a 5 mpg increase by switching to that exhaust.   You might try a Google search for some of the PT Cruiser enthusiasts websites and see what they've done performance-wise to the intake, exhaust and other things. I put a better flowing intake filter in my wife's Cruiser, made the intake box less restrictive and a few other things, by getting ideas off some of those websites.
