NEED HELP ABOUT TURBOS!!!
Hey I'm currently finishing up the conversion of my 2004 SXT into an SRT-4, now what I need help with is what turbo kit to put into the car. There's two choices either the Chill Factory Turbo kit or the Hahn Race Craft kit. Both use Mitsubishi Turbos but I'm just wondering if one is better than the other. Please help before this decision makes my FREAKIN' HEAD EXPLODE!!! Thanks Guys.

first: find a compatible turbo (which you have found already)
second: More maintnence than you think, HAVE to be exact on oil changes! Since the cars not factory boosted!
third: gotta get extra goodies to make it work, unless it comes springed at 7 psi or something
fourth: need turbo timer, again none factory boosted car. (and not to over boost, meaning blowing that little motor of yours)
fifth: LAST but not least, and the most inportanat thing about non factory boosted cars, TUNE!! If you do not Tune the car, man your turbo and you car will disfunction/bump heads.
Thats where you run into MAJOR problems! EG: blowing motor, ruining head and/block. Make sure it's a well known Tune shop, every Tune shop is gonna say that they are good or just flat REFUSE to Tune you because you weren't refered!
If you are a guy who love to smoke others (which you will, its very like well, TEMPTING). GOOD LUCK on the project. Think about it before you just jump into it! unless you are like RICH then go for it!

well glad you are getting boost! you'll love it but just remember, getting turbo is just not getting a turbo. Theres lots you have to do in order for your car to last!

RE: NEED HELP ABOUT TURBOS!!!
As is right now I use Mobil 1 Synthetic in my engine and change the oil BEFORE 3,000 miles. When I buy the kit I'm also doing a bottom end rebuild with lower compression pistons. I've got this planned out I just needed to know which kit was better. Thanks for all your help guys, you all are a vast wealth of knowledge that I think I need to tap into more often, LOL.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!

Now you said with a bolt on turbo kit is uses the stock PCM, what would happen if I had the PCM reprogrammed? I know JET has a kit where you send the chip back and they do it, would that be ok or would it screw with the system?
