the pt cruiser gt (also known as the gt cruiser) is a high output turbocharged hot hatch variant of the pt cruiser introduced as a 2003 model. the engine is upgraded over the standard pt, including: stronger crank case webbing, a thicker deck with 11 mm head bolts (vs 10 mm), an oil drain back for the turbo, a cast aluminum structural oil pan, a higher capacity oil pump, a crankshaft of higher hardness steel, improved machining of bearing journals, oil squirters (to cool underside of pistons), eutectic aluminum alloy pistons made specially by mahle, and forged connecting rods with cracked caps and 9 mm bolts. the cylinder head was also different for turbo engines, from naturally aspirated. the turbo version was used by both the pt cruiser gt and dodge neon srt-4 with larger diameter valves and seats, exhaust valves made of inconel, improved cooling and larger oil drain back passages, different camshafts. the pt cruiser turbo engine package differs from the srt-4 because the intake manifold, turbocharger plumbing and intercooler are different. upgrades such as mopar stage 1 and supporting turbo components were available from the manufacturer. many of the performance parts from the srt-4 are compatible with the pt cruiser gt.
