Finally banked away some money and looking to gain some power and some MPG (currently getting 12) if possible. I was looking into the Edge trail Jammer kit ( Intake, TB spacer, Chip) but im not sure whether is worth the money $611. I have heard really good things about turbos but am unable to locate any kits or get a rough estimate. I want to make the decision on to wait to find a turbo or buy the Edge kit. Any knowledge or advice would be great. Thanks

Aren't there some supercharger kits available? Supercharger/turbo, they both do the same thing, just do it differently. Either way, you're talking thousands, not hundreds of $. With the taller tires you've installed, I would think $600 worth of gears would give better results than the edge kit.

DONT BUY IT... thats a crap load of money for nothing... buy the $15 eBay intake... dont waste your money on a TB spacer already proven to be junk and not worth anything... if u want a jet chip then u could get it by itself... but i had one on my 97 ZJ that my sister got me for christmas... i didnt tell her this but i didnt notice a thing with it...
