Turbo Cherokee?
I know, I know, another turbo thread. I was walking back from class today and started thinking about how much stuff would actually go into it for an engineering project. The biggest thing I'm looking at is cost, I need to know if I can afford it or not.
Here's what I know goes into it, please fill in the blanks.
Turbo (T4?)
Manifold
Ducting
Wastegate
Oil Lines
Electronics
What happens to all of the vacuum controlled stuff? Will the HVAC still work?
Thanks in advance

All the vacuum stuff must still see vacuum and no boost (HVAC, brake booster, fuel tank purge, CCV). Except the MAP sensor, the IAT sensor, vac/boost gauge, and FIC or FTC for fuel and timing control, they can all see boost. That is a problem with turbo and 'blow thru' the TB, where do you find vacuum only with no boost.
If you allow boost/positive pressure to go to HVAC- you lose controls when under boost like defrost, brake booster- lose function when under boost, fuel tank purge- pressurize your fuel tank when under boost, CCV- pressurize engine when under boost.

And how necessary is an intercooler for a system running at 4psi? I suppose the same question for the stock tune also.

I looked up some of the bigger parts and it's looking like this would cost around $1000 if I were to go with a godspeed t3/t4 off of fleabay. I know you get what you pay for but for wanting to run only 4psi how big of a deal could it be?

Normally for vacuum stuff like the brake booster and vacuum canisters there are check valves inline. There is low manifold vacuum at WOT on an N/A engine anyway so usually there is already something in place.

For some reason I thought that vacuum system and CCV stuff was just plumbed to right before the turbo
