get the turbo first, make sure it's running right and everything, before you start thinking about buying upgrades.

You should set some goals for the turbocharged engine:
- What horsepower level do you want?
- How much are you willing to spend?
- Do you want to turbocharge your current engine with a kit or swap in a factory turbocharged engine?

There are associated parts you should plan to purchase:
- Exhaust system
- Engine Management compatible with the turbocharged engine

Look around in this section to see what others have done. Then ask more focussed questions once you feel comfortable with what you have learned.

Once you have looked around, you'll see that if you make the right choices up front, you won't have to upgrade anything. It will be done right from the get-go.

Good hunting.

what...?. the SRt4 comes with a turbo stock dude...im assuming you know that already.. just making sure..

If you are saying you go buy a new turbo, and manifold, a bigger intercooler, or BOV.. sure, you can install it.. it might void your warranty.. but.. ya, you can install mods on a brand new car.

you need to learn how turbo systems work before you buy one and WELL before you even think about upgrading it.

I imagine you've never driven an aftermarket turbo car.

yeah, and the upgrade you buy from the dealer will be about 3x more expensive than you can part it somewhere else.

The stage 1 upgrade is 300 bucks, a chip and another smal part. It makes 300hp, takes 15 mins for the dealer to install and does not void your warranty. The 04 SRT-4 runs a 13.7 stock though....considering you will give a Vette C5 hell stock, chances are just the MOPAR stage 1 will give you plenty of a thrill.
