Hey guys. I'm new to the forum and new to neons. I just got my neon last saturday so I've had it for only a week so far. It's a '99 coupe.

When my dad showed up with it and gave me the keys, one of the things he told me was that it was turbocharged.

So I assumed he was correct.

Today I went over to Muffler Man and got a whole new exhaust with muffler. I told the guy there that it was turbocharged, and he told me "it's definitely not turbocharged. Must be supercharged." So I thought "SWEET! Even better!" And I got all excited about that. Before we left the place, I started to doubt that it was supercharged. So I asked the one of the mechanics to look at the engine and tell me if it was supercharged for sure. He said it was for sure.

But after doing research, I can't find anything that says that it's either turbocharged OR supercharged. So I'm assuming it's neither.

So...what is it?

Also, I installed a wing on my neon. I know that they're front-wheel drive and was wondering if the wing will make any difference. I know that it wouldn't do any good because it's front-wheel drive, but will it slow me down? Do wings make a big difference, if at all?

 

maybe you should put up some pics of your engine....
there are no superchargers for the neons available....only turbos

 

Alright. I'll get some pics later today.

 

If it's an aluminum wing it's good to have, you never know when you'll need some scrap aluminum for a project.

 

Lawl. But will it affect my speed at all?

 

It's as possible as it is not.

Lawls, the huge wing:

 

rofl, how the hell did anyone tell you it was turbod or superd? ahaha

 

just a plain 2.0 dohc....the mechs. were probally just messing with you because you couldnt tell.....

 

God damnit. Just as I expected. Oh well. Maybe I'll get a turbocharger. How much difference does it make?

Also, what about the wing? Do you think it slows me down?
