Installation Notes

Fits 2003-2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser, turbocharger. Fits 2003-2005 Dodge Neon, turbocharger. Follow the installation guide closely, replace the engine oil and filter, and inspect the air and exhaust system before installation. Clean oil supply is critical for turbo life, and a hot turbocharger should not be shut down without proper cool-down to reduce the risk of oil coking. Replacing the air filter and checking for foreign-object damage also helps protect the turbo wheels.
