Cold Air Intake Kit for Dodge Neon (2003-2005) with 2.4L DOHC Turbocharged Engine Chrome

Maximize Boost Efficiency for the 2003-2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4 A853 Turbo

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Dodge Neon SRT-4 owners running the legendary A853 (ED2) 2.4L DOHC turbocharged engine. Whether you’re keeping your build period-correct or looking for a more responsive daily driver, this is a fundamental upgrade.

The Problem: The factory airbox on the A853 engine was designed more for sound suppression than raw flow. The stock plastic housing and corrugated rubber inlet hose create significant turbulence, which forces the TD04LR turbocharger to work harder to reach target boost. This restriction leads to higher intake air temperatures and a noticeable delay in throttle response.

The Solution: We engineered this kit to remove the bottleneck. By utilizing high-polish mandrel-bent aluminum piping and a high-velocity air filter, we deliver a straight, smooth path for air to reach the turbo. This reduces the vacuum effect on the inlet side, allowing for faster spool times and better heat dissipation than the heat-soak prone factory plastic.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Turbo Spool: By reducing inlet restriction, the 2.4L turbo reaches peak boost faster in the RPM range, improving mid-range pull.
• T304 Aluminum Construction: Unlike factory rubber that collapses under high boost or plastic that cracks with age, this chrome-finished aluminum pipe is built to withstand the high-heat environment of the SRT-4 engine bay.
• Direct Bolt-On Fit: No cutting or welding is required. This kit is designed to utilize factory mounting points for a clean, professional-looking engine bay.
