o ok...thanks

 

It can obviously cost more, depending on if you do something to the engine, what parts you use, how you control things, etc...but for a basic, dependable turbo kit it shouldnt cost more than $3k.

 

I remember reading on the forum a little while back that there was a company that was going to release a turbo kit for the Neon for a fair bit less that the Hahn Racecraft kit. Unfortunately I can't remember the company name and couldn't find the thread. If anyone knows that would be great. Thanks.

 

PT Performance, they are a big dealer on SRT forums, and the Neon SOHC kit should be out by January of 2007. Also, the expected price for this complete kit is roughly $3,000, plus, this company will be releasing "stage" kits for engine build-up and turbo upgrades. The kit will also be totally customizable, from the turbo you order, to the color of your piping and manifolds, to what turbo controllers and FMIC you get.

 

Oh, I think the price I had heard was a little cheaper than that, but that's ok. Making it customizeable is good, and makes it more worth the money in my mind. Why pay for something then pay for another part to replace it when you can just get what you want to begin with?

 

Initially, like five months ago when it was released a company was developing a new kit, the price was $2,500...but obvioulsy projected costs dont always pan out...plus they added a bunch of standard equipment, like a dual stage MBC, the bigger FMIC, and things of that nature.

*Edit* Here is the complete list of things that will be included in the BASIC kit!

The kit would include:
1. SRT-4 Turbocharger/Manifold (ceramicoated black), extra o2 sensor bung welded in for wideband. Smaller bung welded in for Exhaust temp sensor (will be plugged with removeable cap)

SS log, or tubular manifold, ANY size/brand turbocharger.

2. Mattdog Adapter (trimmed for any possible clearence issues with alt bracket, shouldnt be a problem on 03-05 but hasn't been tested by us on the other models)

i just got a used 2004 neon SXT that i want to turbocharge. Only problem is that i can only find one entire turbo kit for it. It is a Hahn turbo kit that I found on www.sportcompactonly.com and it is $4,140. They say it will work perfectly on a stock neon. My question is will I need an aftermarket turbo exhaust or will a regular aftermarket exhaust system work? Also if you guys know of anything else I would need to make the turbo compatable with the car please tell me. Thanks.

 

The Hahn has solid engineering and i've never heard a bad thing about thier quality. Everything should be included in that kit except you will need a new clutch. I would also suggest a wideband A/F gauge and the 2.5" Borla/Mopar catback exhaust.

 

sorry i should been more specific. I don't think i need to get a new clutch or anything becuase my SXT is an automatic. I looked at borla exhaust but it is $600. I am thinking about Magnaflow or Thermal.

 

The exhaust is the Mopar/Borla 2.5" catback, it costs roughly $350 from Modern Performance.
