Yes, there is a Hahns Racecraft turbo for the 2.0 SOHC, runs about $3k-$3500 depending on which one you get and whether you install it yourself or have a pro do it. Ive heard that you can run about 12psi of boost if you have a magnum egine, so with the standard 2.0 it miht be a bit less. Th kit should be able to pout out about 27psi of boost according to the Hahns website, but that would be with quite a bit of work to the internals of the engine.
But if you have the money for a turbo and everything, why didnt you just buy an SRT-4???

2006 neon? I'm confused, the 2006-up neon was discontinued.

Yeah i dont think they are making a 2006 model year Neon, but maybe they are just using the last of the 2005's and calling them 2006 models like Ford did when they discontinued the Taurus in 2004...

actaully the base 03+ model would be able too handle more boost than the r/t models because it has a lower compresion ratio that the r/t and all soch neons that came before it

I didn't think you could turbo the standard 2.0 because of weaker internals. Am I mistaken?

Not 100% sure on the second gen, but not much is different. The 1st gen bottom end can handle up to 300hp. Both the hahns and chill factory kits will bolt onto a stock motor. Now it is going to shorten life a little, but its pretty dependable.
