Oh, yeah. Boost gauge should always be at position "C". Ideally, each component should have its own dedicated line, rather than using T fittings to split/share lines to a vacuum/boost source. But that would require adding new barbed hose fittings to the intake manifold for the BOV and boost gauge. I haven't found any good info on how to add fittings to a plastic intake manifold yet.
Not inaccurate. Just potentially slower response, and probably on the scale of hundredths of a second difference. It wouldn't matter at all for the boost gauge. For the BOV, as long as it responds quickly enough to avoid compressor surge, then the T fitting for that is fine too. A dedicated vacuum source for the BOV might possibly keep the turbo spooled a bit better during gear changes, but whether or not the difference is worth the effort of creating a dedicated vacuum source would require testing and data logging to determine.
Testing and Data logging! Yeah!
staying spooled with the turbo is my main concern with it. If there was a way to blend an sc with a turbo, so that it worked of the engine low, and exhaust high it would solve all problems.
Work that out, will you pickles?
That's called "twincharging": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TwinchargerOriginally Posted by Yoinkers
It's very complex to get it done right. I would not want to be the one to try to combine a turbo kit with a supercharger kit on a previously non-boosted engine and get it all working/tuned properly. I would also not want to pay the bill for a performance shop to figure it all out. It appears that the Magnuson supercharger would be physically compatible with the Prodigy turbo. Who wants to try it?
NOLA Jeeper!
werent you going to dyno?
That was the plan, but the shop had issues with the CPU. They couldnt get the jeep into dyno mode and once on the dyno the jeep would not shift out of 1st gear. They couldnt figure it out. Diablo and Prodigy had no answers to the issue.. Yeah was a bummer.
heartbroken!
Hi all,
Been reading the posts for sometime, became a member last week and posting for the first time.
Ordered my Prodigy stage 2, and can't wait to install it, would love to read more feedback. It kinda went all quite.
Anyone doing an instal on an Auto jk?
WELCOME!
It did kinda go quiet. Here is the current status, Jesse is away in a training seminar, that our turbo. NOLA, you have an update on your unit?
Also, with the auto, Wes from prodigy told us that the auto is the faster option as the turbo spools up and stays spooled as the tranny shifts. Not clutch, not power loss. When you get your turbo installed, tell us if you agree.
Thnx JeepLab,
Sure I will, I don't know when it will ship out, but I'm already clearing up my garage and cleaning up my tools....lol getting really excited with the prep work.
Also got the Titanium wrap, heat control is going to be a challenge for me here. So any more useful tips on that will be great.
Anyone managed to fit a snorkel? would really like to use my snorkel it will help with the heat issue.
I'm doing this instal solo!! So I'm taking notes of all the trials from you and from UselessPickles who has been good with his write up on the instal.
