OK, here we go...... I have a 97 TJ that is a 'streetster'. I'm looking to stick a turbo under the hood of my 97 TJ 2.5L. Yes, a
2.5L 4 banger! The only parts I need to purchase are the turbo and inter- cooler. All else I plan to fabricate. I just want to see how far I can take this motor before I blow it up (I doubt it will). If it does blow that is when I'll drop in a 6 or 8 cylinder and then I'll put the turbo on my lawn mower. I was looking to see if anyone in this group has installed a turbo setup in their rig for on-street performance (and wants to admit it). If you have: how bad did it hurt off-road crawling? was it difficult to install? what turbo did you use? What kind of horsepower did you realize? any turbo advice besides "don't do it"? Even if you haven't installed a turbo what do you think if you had a Jeep just to experiment with? I've read hundreds of posts in this group, about all kinds of stuff. Collectively in this group you all are Jeep geniuses, that's why I'm asking. If this isn't the appropriate group then accept my apologies. Thanks for your help.Bobby Rock-n-roll or roll-over-a-rock. Either is OK with me!
