It's more than slightly bigger than a stock turbo

Made my stock turbo look puny. I have the FIC 725ccs, Boomba rail and Walbro255lph. No plans on maxing anything out hence no need for a return line, and haven't done a bottleneck fix or a re-wire yet. All the stuff I've read about the re-wires as of late they're rather scary
Wiggy's turbo was different than this one and Wiggy had/has different mods. 1LAP runs this turbo at around 450whp, so it's more than capable with the right tune
Neonjr: I could never keep a journal, diary or a blog, but I could write for days about what I've done to my car

Thank you
WhiteSRT: hell yeah it is

Thanks!

That thing is pretty sexy. Next time I'm up that way, can I drive it?

That'd be a negative

No one drives it but me. My boyfriend doesn't even like driving it because god forbid something ever happened he'd never forgive himself.
But thanks for the compliments

Not too shabby... but my atx 2.slow could beat it. Mostly because Crystal drives the speed limit and is careful and all... but still.

You have no idea how many people ask me "WHY do you need that to go 55-60mph?" Why not!?

You gotta hit up some desolet(sp) roads and go WOT once in a while. Or the occasional WOT merging onto the interstate. (My personal fave)

I can't find the memory stick to my camera that does video!

I did take a cell phone one, which is terrible. I'll have to see if I can find the stick and try to get a better one today since the quality on my cell is horrid. The car is SO much louder than it was before..the whole exhaust tone is noticeably different tenfold. Starting the car it rocks it's loping so hard in open loop. I do enjoy that.
I do love me some fast paced highway merging

it's nice to have the speed. Sometimes in Nee I feel like I'm going to get clobbered but I never have that feeling in the SRT since it's quicker than most any car that I encounter getting on the highway.
Brodie: Yes....I'm a bit slow but it's finally in there
More/Better pictures soon, possibly tonight if I take it out. It's supposed to be beautiful and I want to get that 100 miles on him

"back in the day" (when NSRT-4's were in production) .... it was the second fastest thing Chrysler produced .... only the Viper SRT-10 was faster,
and only 20 grand for the Neon vs 80 grand for the Viper

That was actually one of it's sales pitches.

I bought mine brand new in July of 04, had him ever since
Break-in period is complete. Getting around 22mpg right now, not too bad considering the mix of highway/city driving.
Time for boost

Joe

I've had it over a year and a half just havent installed it until now.

I have more to spend as well, I'll never be done.
Laneholt: I was pretty impressed too considering on my way to Carlisle in May (all highway) I got 25-26mpg. The mix of city is what kills me here. We'll see how it goes.

based on the Neon's 12.5 gallon tank = 15 mpg
"the blonde bombshell" gets 7 mpg, it could never be a DD

CTC in about 5 weeks will be very expensive, but fun .... prepare for our invasion
