Garrett turbo?

Post by 04R/T » Thu Dec 18, 2008 4:17 am

I just bought a wrecked 2004 SRT 4 that I thought was stock anyway now that I have it at home I see that it has a Garrett turbo on it and the exhaust manifold has 'ATP 4' cast into it. I also noticed that the coolant bottle is gone because this turbo set up seems to have taken up all the space back there. Any ideas what kind of set up this could be and am I going to have to fuss with this thing all the time?

I was hoping for stock stuff so that I don't have to fiddle around with things under the hood once it's in there.

It seemed to run ok, I had the tow truck driver drop it off in front of my house and I drove it into my garage. it's hit in front so I couldn't run it for to long.

Yeah I think I'm going to sell off or trade this turbo and go back to stock. I'm in the process of tearing the car apart now and I found it has a stage 1 PCM also. I wonder how hard the previous owner hammered this thing? :-k
