Default 99 r/t turbo install

Hello all I am new to the site and figured I would give you a quick piece on myself. I am what some might call a purest. I have only owned a mopar From my first car...a 66 new yorker 2dr HT. From there i moved on to a 85 dodge k car. I was 18 and the car had a blown head gasket and really bad struts but I needed to get to and from while i was restoring the 66. a couple years later I sold the chrysler and parted out the dodge and used the money to get a 66 monaco 500 with a 440. I owned that for the next 5 years and restored with a hint of hot rod. in the mean time I purchased my wife a 00 silver neon. which she drove for a couple of years until the 02 with the 4 speed auto came out . we traded he 00 for a black 02. A loss of my job forced me to sell my monaco in 02. but with part of the money I bought an 89 ramcharger that I have since lifted and cleaned up really nice. I use that now as a recreational vehicle . last year I got into the trans 4 engines and bought an 85 omni GLH. LOved it for the brief time I had it. I sold it and bought a 99 neon r/t which brings me to where I am now. So long story short ( I KNOW....TO LATE) I am looking into bolting up an SRT manifold and turbo up to my 99. I have been told that the 2.4 and the 2.0 dohc heads have the same pattern and it will bolt right up. My question is does anyone here have any experiance with this? Thanks everyone

BTW you can check out both my neons on car domain. the links are in my profile.
I will get my RC up there this weekend and My EX monacos pics

whats matts forum name? I was under the impression that the 2.4 dohc and the 2.0 dohc were virtually the same. is it the bolt patterns that are different?
