Default mopar performance "turbo qestion"

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

why do you need to do that?????

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

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

Something like the MSD-DIS2 would be good.

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