Someone probably already knows this or has a copy but i would like to see a compressor map for the stock turbo, as well as know what is the most efficient boost level to run it at. Reading on here it seems 20 is max, but is it max because compressor efficiency drops off or is 20psi just what the turbo housing will allow?
Cruise control was on the SRT concept vehicle, but was not put in to production. I understand that you wanted a fast economical car, but why skimp on a popular item like this?

(1)Servo Connecter is not on vehicles built between 3/20/2003 and 3/12/2004. Check for presence of servo connector before ordering or installing. Do not attempt to install on vehicles built without it.

According to that my car does not have the Servo Connector and I'm not to install that cruise with out it... So this does me no justice... It also doesn't answer the question as to why they didn't put it on the car, let alone even make it an option.
What do you think will be the 2 best points of this new Caliber that will probably eventually replace our current SRT-4?
and...
What would you rather see, personally, a revised "Neon" or continuation of current SRT-4, or go with the new Caliber and start with a clean slate + all the knowledge you have from this version?
2) how dangerous would a carbon fiber hood be in a crash?[/quote]
If its designed properly, it will have two notches in the underside that act as folding points. I rememeber going to the Hotchkis meet that Carbon By Design was at. They said that their street hoods have the notches and are tested to fold in a crash. I hood w/out these folding points (such as a race only hood) can be very dangerous. If the hood is not allowed to fold, it came come straight through the windshield and decapitate the driver. But like I said, CBD's carbon street hoods are safe and do fold.

Huh? The pedal servo is actually installed in our cars but not the controller?? What is installed in our cars if not within those dates? pedal servo?
Why is the turbo in the back of the engine bay? I hate it there...
Thats where the exhaust ports are. This isn't a Japanese car.

They covered this in the OLD SCHOOL live chat they did a few years ago. The response was "There was only so much room in the stable, and we decided to fill it with horses"
The vacuum actuator for the regular Neon sits right about where the turbo is on the SRT-4. Given how cramped our engine bay is, they elected to omit it.

what's the plastic blade under the front fascia for?
Air Dam (n)
A device made of metal or plastic fitted beneath the front bumper of an automobile and intended to enhance aerodynamics and stability by blocking the flow of turbulent air under the chassis.

Not sure of where it would go [brake fluid]... but if the light goes on during acceleration is washes to the back of the tank triggering the light.
As the brake pads wear, the fluid goes into the calipers as the pistons are extended further. When you replace your pads and compress the pistons, you will likely need to remove some of the fluid you have added.

Anybody have any ideas on the 0W40 post of mine from the beginning?

There is a european theory that this car was developed around 0W40 but most people in North America don't understand what a 'warm up' process is. They just slam the car into gear and mash the gas before it's even started! Thus, why most cars in NA have 5W30 or 10W30 recommended. (Crossfire uses 0W40, but is mfg'd in Europe)
BTW, 0W40 did get rid of my hard-starting issues.
I would jsut like the mfg'r to clear this up, because it's such a unique vehicle to the DCX product offering. THANKS!

I don't beleive this answer, the pt cruiser turbo is a tighter fit, and we have cruise control!
Yes, but I'm sure the cruise control for the PT was a worthwhile engineering/cost feat, considering the demographic buying PT's. They get arthritis in their ankles and cruise could be a make or break deal for them . The 'go fast' crowd wouldn't be expected to complain as much.
