No Marc its a front mounted turbo....Just has a heat shield over it to hide it, hehe.......But with the massive piping coming down in front it really doesnt matter. But the car is pretty quick right now on 4psi with a slipping clutch.....On 8-9psi, colder plugs, tune and a clutch and on slicks it can go 13.0-13.2@104-105, with internals and a bigger wastegate and boost @ 13-14psi on slicks the car can easily go mid 12's @113-114 and on 20psi with a 20g/axles/#12 cam/weight reduction/welded diff the car can go into the 11's@120+ with no problems.

sum1 tell that guy he bought a neon... :P I'm j/p nice sleeper dude, and I like the paint job. Don't see to many clean neons actually...so it's kinda refreshing from the half painted jobbers we have rolling around out here.

The one time the clutch grabbed it took off. But all the other times wasnt too great. You would just let off instantly. Werent you at 10 psi though when you were running the yellow srt4?

Thanks for the comments guys, the car is really fun, but it will be way more fun with a new clutch and i can turn the boost up to 8-9psi and after internals and a turbo cam she is going to 14psi!!...The best part is how it handles, Koni shocks/sprint springs/front and rear strut tower bars/lower front tie bar/17's and sticky tires,,hahaha Sick06Cobalt can vouch for this baby, you can feel it want to lift a front tire off the ground in a tight turn and it just stays planted totally flat, no body roll at all...Mike it was spiking 10psi and holding at 8psi, but god damn that was just dumb i had no clutch through any of the gears, haha even barley touching the gas in 3rd-5th was awful.
