Yes, Mopar has an intercooler for the 2.2 Turbo. But don't expect your
average dealer to know about it. Direct Connection (the Chrysler
factory performance parts outlet) now has both an intercooler kit, and
a Hi-Po ingnition computer (allowing 10psi boost) to go with it. They
just did a project P-car (I think it's the new P-car) and claimed
something like 185 or so ponies, not bad for a four-banger. As far as
getting the kit(s), your best bet is to find a good speed shop in your
area. They will have all the latest catalogues, as well as the
expertise to install/tune such a rig. You may get lucky and find a
Chrylser dealer who handles DC parts (a bunch do, I have a list if
you're interested), but getting the work done is a bit riskier. If you
are at all serious about adding some 'beef' to your ChryCo product, I
fully recomend sending in one of those ad's to join the 'Direct
Connection Race Team' you see in car magazines. While the gimmicks
they send you are cute, the new Direct Connection Catalogue and the
monthly newsletters about new products, etc. are well worth the
$12/year. They have a pretty good line of parts for the 2.2-equiped
cars so you can prepare it for anything from AutoCross, to Road
racing, to Pro-Rallye.
