Default turboing a 420a (dohc + sohc neons)

Hi I see so many ppl trying to swap engines but there is a turbo kit for the 420a and the results are impressive its available for avengers, sebrings, pt cruisers, neons, and non-turbo eclipses and talons!!! the 420a IMO is a very impressive engine in stock form alone why swap??? check out hahn race craft !! I figured I'd post this b/c a search showed no mention of this company also check out tuners choice.comI wish my car had the capabilities you guys do but the PCM (computer) is a serious steel wall!!!!

Because it's cheaper to swap engines or build a more powerful 2.4L engine with SRT-4 internals. Not everyone can drop $3000+ on a turbo kit. Plus some people like the idea of building and piecing together their own turbo kit, more of a self-thing.

hahn racecraft sux when it comes to replacing individual components.......get bored one day and call them up and see if you can order a street T oil fitting($7.00)...they will reccomend that you buy the whole oil feed kit($100.00).....they dont like selling parts....only whole kits....
besides....$600.00 for only a dohc turbo manifold...only the manifold is just rediculous.....especially when thatsabout half ofwhat i paid for my entire turbo kit[&:]
and $1200.00 for a tiny intercooler is alot too
i find it exstatic knowing that i was able to piece together my whole turbo kit and it works great.....besides the stage 2 hahn kit is only good for about 10psi......
