well, if you act fast, there are headers for it on ebay.
I have a 02 RT coupe, and i am currently waiting on a CAI in the mail. I have custom mufflerless tuned catback, and a 175 degree thermostat.

The chip is tricky because unlike alot of cars, there is no "chip". You either have to buy a programmable ECU, or send out your current ECU to have it reprogrammed. The turbo is a bit harder to find, but they are out there, and im ont sure who makes them. Check out Ripp Mods, the owner has a heavily modded 02 RT, and that company specializes in building superchargers, and the owners RT has said supercharger.

Yeah, go to GeneralMotors.com and buy yourself a 350 V8 chevrolet engine and install it in your Stratus. Move to a Alaska, where its cold to take care of your cold-air intake, and this should get you the turbo horse-power you are looking for. You won't need a "chip" with this engine, it'll do fine on its own. Install the dodge engine on your lawn mower, it'll probably handle that o.k.

...or you could buy a good engine from mopar performance and put it in a different car, rather than having to sit and read stupid replies from morons, when youre trying to get help with your car.

After your GM pile of poopy blows up, take the mopar engine off the your lawnmower, install it where the GM poopy was, and haul what's left to the junkyard with all the other GM poopy.

Sorry dodgemech, no offense man.

I hang out mostly on these 2 web sites but here is the link to a sponsor of mine (RIPP modifications) www.rippmods.com

The sites are:


www.2gstratus.org

and

www.neweclipse.org

I will be at the mopar nationals this year in Columbus, Ohio Aug 13-15, and at Norwalk for racing Aug 13-15th for the Sport compact nationals. I expect to run in the 11's with the current setup and it is perfectly driveable on a daily basis.

I just found this place but it doesn't seem to be as active as 2Gstratus or neweclipse.org. The members here should check them out.
