Wish I had one for my Jeep!!! How many miles are on your engine? Ive read if you engines in shoty condition, a turbo or supercharger speeds up the process of the wearing out the engine.
I would rather have a turbo than a SC though. Alot more contol with a turbo.
I would be cautious with a turbo kit for so cheap. Something too good to be true usually is.

x2 if it sounds to good to be true chances are it is. and to run a turbo they usually recommend stainless steel valves and better springs/lifters to take the boost pressure of the turbo. check out 505performance.com they make a turbo kit designed for the 4.0. it will shed more light on the subject..

505 is AWESOME! If youre on a budget, do a custom setup. Get a turbo and Intercooler from an Eclipse/Talon and get a variety of pre bent exhaust and intake tubing from anywhere. Source all the electronics off Ebay and or Craigslist. My buddy did one like that for his Honda and it turned out freaking great. Depending on the size of turbo you get will let you decide on when it spools up.
