If it comes stock on the car its part of the car and should be considered as part of the car.
I bet you think the 03-04 Cobra motors arent that great either because they have to have a blower. Any 4 cylinder that handle 30 psi on an aftermarket turbo and make 500 whp is pretty impressive if you ask me.

And acutally the motor is fine, its the tiny turbo that sucks ***.
The car is built for boost, if it wasnt, dodge would have put in higher compression pistons in it. Thats like saying the EVO and STi arent **** without their turbos.
The freakin skittle motor isn't even dodge....lol Mitsubishi 2.4l engine wtf?? I beat up on my friends stage 2 and he has aftermarket blow off valve, manual boost controller, CAI, Catback.....He was only dynoing at 267hp/302tq and was running 2.0-2.2 60ft 13.5-13.8 at the track w/101-103mph traps, in 90 deg. weather

Stage 2 dynos like crap. It does alright at the track, but a stage 1 car with an aftermarket wga can be just as fast or faster then stage 2 at fraction of the price. Most guys with stage 1 and bolt ons dyno around 260. Stage 2s I have seen dyno put down around 245 and around 260-265 on high octane mode. Stage 2 runs too rich. Now if you take the time to get an aftermarket wga and a map clamp on stage 2 and tune it, it will put out good numbers.
The best route to go is a bigger turbo.

The turbo is a part of the vehicle's motor, it won't run properly without it, exactly like the cylinder heads to yours.
