Running with an open down pipe allows the turbo to spool much faster than running with a full exhaust. The reason that most cars have issues when running the factory equipment is the lack of reprogramming the computer, so the car doesnt see any signal at the downstream o2, it will also adjust timing that hurts performance etc.
I dont have that issue :) Standalone computer = win.
2000 mile roadtrip in 30 hours non stop, shutdown 2 times long the way, to check the oil.
Trip was from Savannah GA to Southern AZ through Texas, so 90 MPH for 5.5 hours into a strong head wind, meaning long stints of being in boost while climbing hills into the head wind...
no issues
Turbo cars can't take long periods of being loaded my ASS!
When it beats stuff everyone is like "woah". As far as handling... it annihilates rx7s and integras on the track, + 25 mpg freeway, 18 city, not all that bad of a choice afterall (except the interior is garbage)
Nice! It is good to see someone working on the 2.0L and not giving up and swapping for a 2.4L. It sounds like quite a bit of work getting the 2.0L to take the boost, proper fuel management, a general comment to not exceed 12psi or so, did you have to lower the compression to take much of any boost? I believe the compression on a typical 2.0L will be a little under 10/1, and the 2.4L is 8/1.
the neon will look dope with a body kit and some black rims...

forgot to say: averaged 30.8 MPG throughout the trip buwahahahaha

As it sits right now, compression is 8.8:1.
Basically everything you can do to keep it well mannered is done.
SRT turbo on the 2.0 as mentioned. .040 overbore, pushing 16 psi, dyno was a touch under 300 two weeks ago.
300 is decieving, as it is 3.94 tranny with .81 final drive, it pulls hard, all the way to 150 mph(which is where i call it for safety).
Kill list includes: 2005 C6, 2008 STI, 2008 Evo, multiple Civics (couple that were turbo) etc. As of now, V8s are the hardest to get a run

The point of using a neon was this:
No one ever expects a 12 second street neon...

Did you swap the original engine for a 2.4 srt4 engine, or are you running a turbo on a 2.0L?

Turbo 2.0L.
This exhaust is gone as of last weekend. I will post of a vid of the full 3" thats on it now, sounds quite a bit different!
