Before I'd spend several grand on a turbo that *might* work, I'd just buy the Kleemann supercharger kit. Low boost and same numbers as the SRT crowd, both on HP and TQ. Sure, it's $7K but at least it's proven. And talk about exclusivity...

Our trans is only rated to 270 ft*lb, but there's no reason why stronger transmissions can't be swapped in if needed. Nothing drivetrain related is really rated in terms of HP because it's just a number, although it makes you go faster sometimes

. It's called an NSG-370, and is also used in jeeps. My theory is that if it can handle the weight, and shear load of a jeep, 300 ft lb shouldn't be a problem in a crossfire. If I'm not mistaken, the classic hot rod formula is to buy the cheap model and make it faster than the top of the line model for less money.... All while using frankenstein parts and engineering skills to make something ultimately uselessly fast lol. A turbo setup making similar power to the kleeman would be safer and cheaper than the kleeman supercharger setup, as the supercharger increases the load on the engine in order to make power. If dudes in honda civics figured this stuff out years ago there's no reason we can't figure this out now

. Plus, aftermarket companies only make stuff when there is an obvious demand for a product. Turn that frown upside down fellas.. WE CAN DO THIS!
