I have 2 kids, I know how it is. $1500 a month for daycare is tough right now.

Does it put any abnormal wear and tear on the motor? I mean, obviously it does, but I'm talking in terms of engine life. Is this thing gonna make your rig need a powerplant in half the time of running it stock, or is it not that drastic?

Setups like this will last as long as stock if you don't get into it. The harder you run it the more it wears, but as long as you don't over-rev, it should be OK. I had a '79 Mustang with the 2.3 Turbo motor. At 6PSI it was good, but when I added water injection (home constructed) and cranked her up to 10 PSI, it really screamed. To me, this is more practical than a stroker motor as far as performace vs. gas mileage.

Hmmmm where in CT are you? I would be interested in going to take a look at it. I am in West Suffield.

That is a sweet setup. Can the wastegate be adjusted up for a little more boost? I assume you need to run premium to use the boost. Why are you taking it off?

you dont want to go up any more than 8psi at most... 6-8psi is the highest you want to go for premium fuel's on a turbo.

personally for a jeep i'd rather go supercharged... power doesnt come all of a sudden as soon as boost hits like on a turbo

Im in Manchester, CT. This kit is being removed on Sunday. I have already pulled some of the parts off getting ready to box it up.

Thanks for contributing but none of what you posted is true. A properly sized turbo brings the power on where ever you need it. You can run more than 8 psi. PSI is not a good gauge of what a motor will take due to turbo sizing. Its all about CFM.

I build turbo kits for all manner of vehicle. This isn't the first kit I have built.

LOL... I was about to say something similar... I dabbled with turbos with a GMC Typhoon I had for a few years. I had that thing pushing close to 20psi, but it was built to handle it. Still miss that truck, the AWD burnouts were insane!!

this is incorrect. My WRX made in excess of 400WHP, at 20psi, on 93 octane.

this is correct, sorta.. SC boost is linear and instantaneous, whereas turbo boost is not.

I had an Eclipse GSX for a while, and could easily run 16-18psi on pump gas. With racing fuel I could run up to around 25psi depending on the outside air temps. That car would haul some major A$$.

It's all about the compressor map. Turbo boost can be put anywhere you want if you know what you are doing.
