Superchargers are better.

Jk, but not really.

But I know theres a video somewhere on the interweb of a Cherokee with a Turbo... and it gets going pretty fast.

Single turbos on smaller motors are better than twin turbos. The only real benefit of twin turbos would be the smaller alone spools faster til the big one catches up.

At least that's what I found with the 4G63 motor. And believe me, 500+whp isn't easy. 1150cc injectors, wally 255lph with adjustable FPR, ACT 2600 lb clutch, head port and polish with oversize valves and tougher valve springs, 272/272 cams adj cam gears, Kevlar timing belt, and tons of other stuff I put into it.

Any American cars stock with a turbo? Preferably any older ones that are relatively affordable? haha

Actually not so much, they will get you by but not the best options out there by far. ive boosted many cars and work for a high performance shop for some time. if you are on a budget that the way to go but if you want it to be reliable and actually get some power out of it then you will need something more reliable.

i like em both but for a jeep that gets used in the trailes and on some rocks id rather have a sc due to the immediate power rather than the boost lag. but for mud bogging the lag wouldnt be a huge deal cause your revving the **** out of it lol. but the smaller the turbo the lower the rpms it will kick in. the bigger the turbo the longer the lag. it would be awesome to get a stroked 4L with a super charger and a turbo lol.
