Point of forced induction is you want power when you push the pedal......turbo's must spool boost....supercharger's are automatically there.

Ok a charger in an xj =bad *** whether it's a turbo or supercharger

Since I lack a welder and what not, I took a different approach. The passengerside strut remains, and helps lift the hatch when I go to open it, and then I lock the manual strut. So far, works like a charm, and the trim didn't need to be cut or anything.
This is something i need to do to my jeep. I have a long piece of wood i use to hold the hatch open and i don't like extra crap laying around loose.
Can you pm me with directions and materials or do a writeup on this? Its a great idea and probly cheaper then buying new hatch struts!
