Turbo Mopar Resources

The websites, communities, manuals, and technical rabbit holes helping me understand a 1985 Chrysler Town & Country Turbo.

Start Here

The internet remembers.

One of the surprising things about owning an old Chrysler is discovering how much knowledge is still floating around online.

Some of it lives on modern social media. Some of it lives on websites that look like they survived three decades of internet history.

This page collects the best Turbo Mopar resources I've found while trying to keep my wagon alive.

If a website, manual, brochure, forum, or diagram helps me understand this wagon, it belongs here.
Featured Resource

TurboVan.net

If I could only recommend one Turbo Mopar resource, this would be it.

TurboVan.net contains years of technical information covering Chrysler's turbocharged vehicles, including engine diagnostics, electronics, vacuum systems, modifications, and historical information.

Despite the name, much of the information applies directly to turbocharged Chrysler cars and wagons.

Research Goals

Resources I'm Still Looking For

Part of the fun of this project is finding information that Chrysler probably never expected people to still be using forty years later.

Vacuum Routing Diagrams
Chrysler Technical Service Bulletins
Dealer Training Materials
Factory Wiring Diagrams
Turbo 2.2 Technical Documentation
Original Chrysler Commercials
Dealer Accessory Catalogs
Window Sticker Information

Preservation

Why Save These Resources?

Old websites disappear.

Forums shut down.

Photo links break.

Documentation gets lost.

Part of this project is preserving the information that helps keep these cars on the road.

If a resource helps me understand the wagon, it belongs in this library.
