If you run a turbo, you would want to run a small one that spools up fast. A big turbo with turbo lag would suck on the trails.

There is a guy on pirate that has like 26 pages of a write up in his I6 4.0 turbo.

He explains all the numbers, how to, costs, etc..

505 performance. They have a kit. they also have the only roller camshaft for the Jeeps. Their 4.0 has 700ish HP and 750ish torque. Oh and it lasts

Larger hotside with a medium compressor would rock. Low spool under load, and very efficient boosting capability.


It wont be cheap or easy if done right.
