The '03 kit comes with the larger injectors - all others come with just the
PCM (but recommend the blow-off valve as well). Te Stage-I PCM puts the PT
at 235HP/260TQ. If you really want some extra ponies out of the PT:
Stage-I, Blow-Off valve, upper intake tubing from Moss Motors, and a 3"
Exhaust system from the cat-back.

So a Stage 1 kit for an '06 or '07 is just a new PCM? The injectors are
already upgraded? Are these 230 HP before the Stage 1?

The injectors and PCM program are upgraded but not quite at the "Stage-1"
kit level.

How about the new HO Turbo? Does that already include the Stage 1 kit?
Started in '06?

Turbowas available on 2002/2003 (starting) years. Fully loaded would be
either the Touring or GT package. Tips...hehhehe...don't try to change the
timing belt by yourself. ;)

Honestly though - if you grab the turbo model, stage-1 + blow-off valve and
a flowmaster puts you into the mid to low 14's (yes...it's been done several
times) ..... And with 26mpg to boot. The 2.4L is a reliable engine.

My wife want to replace our Windstar with an '05 or '06 PT Cruiser. How is
the dependability of the 2.4? Was the turbo available for all years? What
was the fully loaded trim package called? Any other tips?
 

Thanks,
James
