Ok, So who wants a turbo Cruiser...

[BicuspiD]

I recently came across a 2.4l motor while trying to find a swap for my Neon. It has a 2.4l Turbo valve cover, and so I assumed it was a mexican Stratus turbo engine. but there are some BIG differences. It is supposedly from the 2003 PT Cruiser turbo that D/C is (?) releasing. Is there any way to check this? A lot of the part numbers do not come up in the Chryco parts database.

It came with a one piece thick cast exhaust manifold /wastegate/turbo housing (with a DSM stamp!) and a V-band turbo tha pulgs in. It fits on a 2.4 rect. port head I have, and a 2.0l Neon DOHC head. And a crazy aluminum intake manifold that won't fit the neon due to a separate thermostat housing/water neck

Anyone around here do engine development, that might be interested in this and could let me know a little about the engine? Check the pic and let me know. Thanks for any advice.
