Again if this is for the Neon, there are a few things to understand. First, the stock electronics will not support a turbo or supercharger. While not specifically aware of how the Mopar stuff is set up, the OEM computer should be able to be reflashed (to a point, depending on the gains desired) to handle moderate gains if this is a stock based engine.
2nd, with the engine being a giant air pump, you'll want to increase the breathing of the engine. This would include headers, a better intake, and it would make all kinds of sense to have the head ported.
And last, these engines are notoriuos for blowing head gaskets. Running anything over 3-5 Psi will seriously give this engine problems without doing some serious work. Adding to that, this engine has a compression ratio of 9.5:1 or higher, and making the breathing improved is even more important unless the engine is being completely rebuilt.---Tom
