This is the upgrade I am yearning for.

Seems this one was used and needs to be-reflashed...could this be done easily or is this not a good idea to go ahead and get?

Yes, the VIN will need to be programed either by the selling dealer or send it to Flight Systems Inc., (the Mopar Vendor programmer), Some Dealers can do it if they know what they are doing and want to do it.
Just make sure the one you buy is for the right year PT and if for an auto or stick trans.

I wouldn't bid too hard. These are year specific and that one says 2004. Won't work if you are thinking of putting it in your '05. If you can find one used you can send it to Flight Systems to program for your car. That's what I did.

The installation scares me though. You think I could get a local dealer to do it for me?

Training the tranny is nothing, don't worry about it, it's actually kinda fun.

I just bought a Jet Performance Stage 1 from Ebay for $135.00 and the installation took about 5 minutes. When I bought from ebay, it said that it was for the 2003 turbo and the auto transmission. Here's the problem, I can definitely feel the difference but now my auto stick does not work. It changes gears fine in drive but I do not have the auto stick anymore. The instructions also say that the check engine light should come on??? Mine didn't. Did I get taken on Ebay???

After talking to Jet Performance I was told that the chip that I bought was from the first batch of chips and that they were only for the manual transmission vehicles. So now my recourse is to get the ebay buyer to take it back So, beware fellow ebay shoppers - it's not worth it! Pay the full price and enjoy the benefits of buying the right item right away...

Yeah, I learned that lesson long ago. On occasion you will find a great deal on something, but the rule of thumb is that you get what you pay for.
To be honest, I didn't know the PCM's were different for manual or auto transmissions.

I didn't know that they were different, either. This module will work on the manual transmissions and when Chrysler came out with the autostick, Jet had to modify their modules to work with it. Which is why I did not have to reprogram my car after the install.

You put the Jet chip on a turbo car instead of buying Stage 1 from Mopar? When you go the cheap route you reap what you sow. Mopar stage 1 gives you crisper shift points and power throughout the powerband whereas the Jet chip is only good for WOT and does nothing for tranny shifts. If you went up against a Mopar stage 1 equiped car you'd see nothing but tailights and would lose by several car lengths. Why do you think you see those chips on ebay all of the time?

I went online to look at the Mopar Performance items and I do not see any stage 1 modules... Do you have a website that sells them?
