Actually all of the turbo engine hardware is the same...the only difference is the control box tuning. The High Output turbo in the GT cruiser is 220hp stock...with either 5spd manual or Autostick automatic (this requires premium fuel)...my Touring model is 180hp with either tranny. I can however add the Mopar performance stage 1 control box and immediately jump to 235-240hp as long as I run premium fuel (mine only calls for 87 but I wont put that crap in turbo engine)
I have also read that it is in your best interest and life of your auto trans that if you go too full throttle and boost while cruising in OD, pull the gear lever down to 3rd before stabbing the throttle. Selecting 3rd engages two clutch paks and unlocks the converter...if youare running the stage 1 box this is essential for tranny life.
On another note I had a Magnaflow crossflow muff added yesterday with twin outlet pipes. The sound is nice and deep with no ricey, fart can spit-n-sput...full throttle makes a nice angry growl and minimal drone at hi-way speed. Nice to get a good working system on the first try!
