Default Turbo Setup

I'm looking to turbo my 96 sohc since it's not my daily driver anymore...and I was wondering what type of turbo I should use? I've read around a little and a garret t3 supposedly works good on a neon??? I was also wondering, is there like, an older car i would find in a junkyard that would have a turbo i could use for my sohc that i could rebuild or something. Any input would be awesome! Thanks

you can get a DOHC head and put an SRT4 manifold and turbo

or get a Hahn turbo kit
