Default Need help performance-wise

Hey, I just purchased a dodge 600 4 door with the 2.2L 4 banger and I was wondering where/if I could get any performance parts for it thanks.

You can but the best bet is convert it to a factory turbo setup

Yeah sure, but the factory turbo also has alot of things wrong with it.

Like what? My charger could do a mid 13 sec pass and I still get 25 mpg with it. What wrong with it?

Are afraid of the head gasket problems everyone seem to have. I been running turbo motors for 5 years and only had one true gasket problem.

Also my sundance I got. Bought the car 50 bucks. Bought another one (89 shadow es turbo) from a Jyard for 150 and I been running it for almost a year.

Follow your intake from the filter to the engine, if there is a turbo you'll see it on your way to the engine.
You don't have to use a stock turbo, but using all the stock equipment (manifolds and such) on on the engine with an aftermarket turbo of your choice can get you lots of power.

You can also use a DOHC head from a 2.0L NEON on the stock 2.2/2.5 block http://home.comcast.net/~ozspeed/CylinderHead.htm

I just went out and looked at the engine but I can't find the intake or the filter, the engine confuses me
