Yeah know what you mean about the bottoming out wish I never lowered mine with the lip kit she bottoms out quite often. That turbo kit looks really nice and dont know anything about them looks good tough and cheaper than most.

But if i get some sport springs and struts that would be nice. I dont know what kind to get though. And like i said i cant drop it to the ground because of where i live. but a little drop would be okay. Any ideas?

What kind of motor mounts do i want? I read up alot on that turbo system. It says with my engine being stock running at 8psi is a safe number anything over i really need to have my engine redone. Bottom and top ends both from what i understand. Gets quite expensive lol

Also that turbo system does not come with an upgraded exhaust manifold. There are ones for about 150 dollars more that come with one. Should i do that, or buy a different one seperate? if so which ones are best?

Actually to be safe I would not go with that turbo and get the tokiko setup on ebay a nice drop but not to low just right.

Okay what turbo do you recommend? if any at all? I really would like to put one on my engine. But i dont really wanna do the engine swap for the 2.4L. So what do you guys think? ill look into the tokiko. Also what kind of engine mounts do i want?

I got a 2005 Dodge Neon sxt. I got the pacesetter headers $150, a new 2.25inch magnaflow dual exhaust $504, a K&N typhoon cold air intake $190-$250, but there is not that big sound dif. The power is good but its not that load. Im going to try to put a Hiflow cat on it and prob cut the muffler off. i have seen some like that and thay got a nice SRT sound.

I have stock headers and cat with an SRT exhaust. Quite loud, but nice and meaty.
