Well a Magnum engine can run up to 12PSI of boost on stock internals but from what I've heard from other turbo neon owners they usually run 8-10psi of boost.

However without that internal work your not long for your car.

Hahns and Chill Factor will work for non-magnum 2.0, as will a SRT-4 turbo with the DOHC to SOHC adaptor, as for how much boost you'll be able to run i have no idea...
