Here is a shot of the latest install.

other side of the brochure
the pile of gear they send isn't terribly intimidating from the bottom of the second picture. Only one way to find out.
More info...
Hey folks, I am the newbie on this blog. I have really enjoyed learning about the SC options and was just about to pull the trigger on a Magnuson for my 2014 JKU Rubicon....then I saw this! I wanted to add some additional color on this turbo. I had a good conversation this morning with Dan from Prodigy as he was driving down to Jeep Beach and he said that they should be shipping Stage 1 in the next 10-12 days. He said that they were taking deposits for those wanting to be ahead in the shipping que (I added my name to that list). In terms of pricing for the 3.6 auto, he said that Stage 1 would run $4999.00 and that he would sell Stage 2 when it becomes available for additional $1000.00. He also said that his crew was stoked to be coming to help the folks at JeepLab install this beauty with a full production video.
Can't wait to see the install!!
Keep up the great work Ross!
The brochure says "now shipping stage 1".
It also says stage 1 is 7psi, but we previously heard it was 5psi.
Hooray for consistency.
I'm also still confused by the baseline stock dyno chart they are using.
I posted the brochure before they planned to release it. They are defiantly not shipping stage one right now, but should be soon.
Brochure says that the turbo is ceramic coated (guessing the turbine housing; the black part). That's cool.
I still want to get some clarification on the standard vs. polished compressor housing. I was told that the only benefit is appearance, but the polished housing also has anti-surge ports. The non-polished turbo pictured in the brochure does NOT have anti-surge ports. That must have some effect on performance. Not absolute peak power numbers, but it should have some effect on how it builds boost or retains spool under certain conditions that would have some effect on responsiveness.
I actually prefer the looks of the non-polished compressor, but would pay extra for the polished/ported housing if it improves throttle response.
That is correct according to Dan at Prodigy. He said that they had actually just dropped off the order for the brochures at the printer as they were headed down to Daytona. One other piece of info Dan gave me was some numbers on the dyno for the automatic. He said that HP rose from 169 to 333 at the wheels and torque increased to 342. I did not write down the stock torque but we all know it is MUCH lower!
