Random stuff from manual

The 2.0 L (122 cu. in.) engine (non Turbo) produces
96 hp @ 5600 RPM
The 2.0 L (122 cu. in.) engine (Turbo) produces
165 hp @ 5600 RPM 175 ft.lb @ 4000 RPM

The turbocharger can operate at very high speed (150,000 RPM) and at temperatures up to about 1500 F. at these extremes, proper lubrication is imperative . for that reason oil should be changed every 3,000 miles.

The turbocharged engine is designed to operate satisfactory on either unleded premium or unleaded regular. However, your acceleration preformance will be better when premium unleaded fuel is used.

The port fuel injection system used on the turbo engine requires a 36 PSI fuel system.

The computer will shut off the fuel to the engine when the engine rpm exceeds 7,000 rpm.

IGNITION TIMING: 8 deg BTDC with engine computer set in diagnostic mode approximately 24 deg BTDC at idle rpm during normal operating conditions.

Thats all i can see thats of any use at all .

Interesting stuff their! I know I always use to use regular gas in mine and then I started using premium and I could feel the difference in the motor, I haven't ran regular gas since!

The computer will shut off the fuel to the engine when the engine rpm exceeds 7,000 rpm.

Wouldn't the motor pop before it hits that rpm?

Thats one thing I didn't get with my car is a manual:(

[ritzard]

well i have mine if you want to know anything from it let me know ill look it up.

i think that 7000 rpm is the extream max the motor will take.

everything i wrote was straight from the manual.

that's the thing with the oil in the turbo every 3k miles, alot of people overlook it (on super chargers also) and almost never change the turbo oil.

how would the 2.0 turbo compare to the Quad4 both LO and HO?

i have no idea what the hp rateingings are on thoes motors

Yeah their is a big sticker in my glovebox telling you to change the oil due to the turbo system, I also let my car run for a minute or so to let the turbo cool if I have been running the turbo alot

I'm not sure how those motors compare but it would be nice to find out

for the reason of letting it run awile after a hard run or long run im getting a turbo timer so i dont have to sit with the car and wait beacuse ill probly run it hard alot.

ahoy, so the manual says the computer shuts off the fuel when the motor hits 7000? Hmm, weird, i've revved mine past 7000 on the tach and it never shut the fuel off. So i dont know whats going on. I know i shouldnt run my motor that fast but ive only done it once or twice and i have had the needle on the tach go to about the 8000 rpm mark if it were to be there. Anyways, thats all i have. Just thought i might let you have some information form experience.

weird i dont know about that but thats what the manual says about it.
