Default Going turbo... HELP!!!

Well i bought my buddy's turbo off of his GS-T eclipse because he got a turbo upgrade. I need to know basically what i'll need. I know most of the basics like the piping, intercooler, bov, exhaust manifold, bigger injectors, larger exhaust, bigger TB,and such. Does anybody have a COMPLETE checklist? I plan on trying to get what i can off of other cars because i have alot of resources near me (houston). Anyways, here's what i need to know:

1. Does anybody have a complete checklist of parts?
2. Can i use the PT Cruiser Turbo exhaust manifold? GS-T exhaust manifold?
3. Is the clutch on the Cruiser Turbo stronger than the clutch on the regular Cruiser?
4. Any recommendations on which BOV to get? I'm thinking about the blitz..
5. Where should i get my intercooler? New or off of another car?
6. Any other help would be greatly appreciated!

I plan on trying to get the car back running ASAP and then upgrade later. I don't really want to full out, top of the line right away. I'd rather just get my car back running and then tweek it and slowly upgrade my set-up later.

You will probably have to get a custom exhaust manifold built for it, I'd stick with the SRT-4 turbo personally.

1)There is a stick up top called "Common Thread Topics", look in there for a checklist
2)I dunno
3)The clutch on the PT turbo is stornger, but you can't use it on a 1st gen.
4)Mopar BOV
5)Get one that fits nicely


Whereabouts in Houston are you?

you cannot use the cruiser manfold for anything but a cruiser/srt-4 turbo....thats it..
like said, the gt turbo clutch cannot be used...only the regular pt

the mopar bov will only work if you used the srt4/gt turbo

you can get an srt4 intercooler for cheap and it works very well

by the way, you are gonna have a hell of a time getting the eclipe turbo to fit on the neon, not only because of having to get the custom manifold, but also the location of the turbo and the exhaust
