They are proven on the neon and have proven durable.

You are aware that there is more to turboing a car than just putting the turbo on, right?

Yes I do know I have been researching this for a little while now. I was told that a eclipse turbo would work good on it b/c it spools fast. What do you think? I know I would need bigger injectors fuel pump all the lines of course the turbo im sure theres alot more things but I cant think of at the moment. Do you know a site that goes in depth with turboing a neon and all the stuff I would need to buy?

Did you read the post that I gave you the link to? It pretty much covers what you would need. All in all, you'd probably spend another $700-$1000. Turboing a car is not cheap if you do it right!

Yea, All in all thats not too bad ill probably do it in a few months when my wife gets another car so I can work on mine since Im going to get pistons too. Im was thinking a stage 2 spec clutch would work well what do you think?
