Well a hahn turbo kit is pretty pricey when you can do a srt turbo swap for way less but just depends if your neon is a auto or 5 speed. Hahn is nice for an auto when a srt is nice for a 5 speed. srt is going to get you more hp than a hahn in the long run.

In the long run if you treat the motor right any kit if installed right and ran at low psi will last, but if you want any real power it is gonna start breaking if you don't upgrade internals.

I have an auto and was planning on doing the srt turbo swap with supporting mods and tranny swap but with 173,000 miles on mine think Im just stickin to all show with little go like mine is. So if you have alot of miles on your sxt I would not go to all the trouble and put money into turboing it when youll need the money for other stuff going wrong.

Yeah but if you do the srt swap and mods I have come across nicely donor srts that cost 2 to 3 grand and and if you look on ebay or srt forums they always have good deals on the mods to go with the srt swap plus insurance is higher in a srt4. Plus building your own turbo neon is way cooler than getting a srt4 .

If the engine can support higher boost levels, they do pretty alright for a 4 cylinder. Stock non-SRT engine, no.
