if you take your 3.7L to a performance shop they should be able to re-flash your computer to fit all the demands your motor will need with putting a turbo on it. my 96 3.9L V6 was ProCharged and i took it to EB3 Performance and yeah you know they tuned it re worked the computer so it would meet the needs my truck needed on fuel and everything...yeah but it wasn't cheap, Procharger, injectors, TB and other mods...but yeah a specialty shop should be able to work with your Stock ECU and make it work!

Ok, I'll try asking around some local shops for flashing the ECU. I'm just wondering how it was done because between what jet told me and how a guy I work with it sounded like I would need adifferent ECU. Jet made a comment about the map sensor and reading a negative vacumme. The guy I work with is familiar with turbo'd Hondas but he can only really guess at dodge setups but I'll ask around at he local shops too.

Thanks
