There is a guy on naxja who sells an exhaust manifold that a turbo can be directly connected to- goes by "boostwerks". Pretty sweet setup but I have always wondered how forced induction would perform on a trail in comparison to a stroker with the same hp and torque. Would it even get spooled up much in 4lo?

After that sweet *** air-to-water cooler, he puts a dinky *** knock off HKS SSQV blow off valve; with the fo-carbon fiber too. Gross.
The biggest thing is monitoring and tuning. Any jackass can try to throw a turbo on something but tuning and monitoring is always left out for some reason, as if installing a turbo was like doing an intake. I've got a single turbo 500hp 4cyl, and spend loads of time data logging runs, doing dyno sessions, and adding monitoring devices. The XJ would be no different. So to that I say, no thanks. One boosted car is enough headache.

And then go to bio diesel.
