The only point that could make Sierra's setup work - high altitude of the place where he lives. That is the only chance for stock MAP sensor to produce less than 5V when under small boost.
In your case I am afraid intercooler works not in a proper way. As you know Sierra had W/A cooler which is more effective in some cases. Like a suggestion: - could the high intake temperature be the factor that affects O2 sensor operation and lean condition of fuel mixture?

Seems to me the way off less hassle is to use the turbo charged engine and ecm. it is not that big a deal to make new motor mount brackets as long as the trans mates in my book it's an easier way to do it, you get the right fuel maps the right compression ratio and an engine that is built for it possibly with cooling jets under the pistons to help cool them. That is the route I would take, it is not all that easy to come up with a good fuel and timing map for your add on or stand alone aftermarket ecm.

In this case, what will be with stock VIN-code and odometer readings?
In our case the engine is almost the same. It is possible to change pistons at the very end. There is no need to change the engine block. But to change ECU and some sensors (MAP) looks like a good idea to me too. The only point is VIN-code.

chris what motor are you using as well as computer management. I used the 2.5 and had the same problems.The motor I was using was port polished and honed.  i would get into boost and it would lean out real bad. I started frying the coil packs. went through about 3 in a month in a half. tried 2 different engine management systems still would go crazy lean in boost. pcm yup did those got two reflashed. Im not quite sure how people are saying it works but i dumped about 5 grand into and just got more problems down the road. finally got it where it would run decent in till it warmed up then back to square one. my advice abort abort. its a mone pit with no sunshine at the end of the rainbow. I hope it all works out for you just careful on the wallet, it will get you no where.

To bad. You have just killed my dream

That was not what was meant by that post. just be leary of this mod, yea it looks sweet in the pictures,but the getting he squirrel turbed effecnent is a different story and good luck let me know.

Im using the 2.4 which came stock my year. the management that i am using is the split second ftc1-019b. i also have larger injectors. Im at a point where if this doesnt work then back to stock it and i can save money for something else. not sure. i just cant put much more into it at the moment. im at close to 2 grand right now. vodkaman. if you want to pick up after me make me an offer.

It would make sense if you have made it, and just didn't like it. But now it looks like mission impossible. Even there in America! What should i expect here in Russia? You can just double the price you payed because of delivering and customs cleaning and it still be not final. Sorry not affordable to me.
Why don't you want to try SRT4 stock PCM?

I went with the hemi swap and love it, just wish I dint waste all that money on the turbo setup. apparently with this thread turbo is a shot in the dark. good luck to all with turbo in mind.

With the DRB3 Chrysler scanner you should be able to change the vin, if not if you have a Chrysler dealer in Moscow they can reflash the ecm and change the vin.

[chrisjsmith4]

How much for hemi swap. was it hard. Do you like the power?

[l3uckeyefan]

it was close to 10 grand after engine, guages, exhaust everytnig it was about 9 grand. but yea i love it. really busted the wallet but looks factory. it took close to 2 months. but well worth the wait. the power is awesome. im still breaking in the motor so havent really got on it.

[chrisjsmith4]

I hate the stupid thing. yesterday i went to move it into the garage to finally start digging into it and the tps code came up. it idols but doesnt do anything when you give it gas. just another thing to fix

[l3uckeyefan]

thats what went wrong with my project. and it only gets worse. good luck man

[chrisjsmith4]

Ok. Tracked that problem down. Turns out that when your steering column gets wet it can throw that code. Fixed that. Other items off the to do list. Put on lift and tires.
As for turbo issues. I have taken off the fuel and timing controller and going to see how it does. then order new pcm.
glad I have the turbo to help push those bigger tires.
