If this is what I think it is and does what I think it does, then [sm=forgetit.gif][sm=noooo.gif][sm=badidea.gif][sm=nothatway.gif]. If it tricks the PCM into "seeing" less boost than it is actually putting out, your going to run it into a lean condition one too many times and your engines gonna go nuclear. They used this trick on the '80's turbo cars and while some squeeked by with doing this, others ended up walking home with rather expensive repair bills that the dealerships won't cover.[:@] If you want to do it right you will also need to add more fuel to the mix to keep it from running lean. If this is the case, tread lightly down this path.[sm=smiley3.gif][sm=smiley24.gif]

That is a [sm=goodidea.gif]. I would hate to hear of a bunch of SRT-4 owners doing a mod and ending up with blown motors.[]

No arguement here. It is better to go with the Garrett T3 T4 turbo than to go with the Mopar/Mitsubishi turbo though.
