do you need to have a different mopar performance ecu, if you turbo your neon. also what else do i need to make a turbo work other than the turbo,intercooler,piping,bov.

dont get the mopar performance ecu. its bad for turbo cars....everyone will tell u that.
as for your turbo..your other upgrades should include... walbro 255 lph pump, rising rate fuel pressure regulator and/or fuel management unit, 24- 36lb/hr fuel injectors or bigger(depending on how much boost you plan on running)..and to avoid detonation..make sure your car is properly tuned!! go to a nearby performance shop that you trust to get it turbo-tuned....if you are still on stock internals...dont go over 8psi...if you do..... engine-[sm=shootshoot.gif]

you need to change your head, and set up a fuel return line. your pcm will work fine but if you want retard your timing a notch. you may want to upgrade your oil pump. turbo manafold, down pipe

It's more than a notch. He would need to find an ignition (piggyback spark controller) which can retard spark up to 25+ degrees. Not worth it, IMO...use the stock PCM with a MAP clamp.

the reason i say to retard a notch is so you take the presure off the rods and they last longer without loosing to much power. just a notch is all you need. oh and thank you i forgot about the breathers

you also need to figure out an exhaust......and oil/coolant lines.....

what kind of piggyback system would you need to retard the timing????

The question wasn't for me. If you throw something out there, you may want to elaborate on it.
