That's a PRODUCTION stage 1 kit on a manual transmission jeep. No more prototype.

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!
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.
Stage 1 kit is listed for sale on Prodigy's website now: http://www.prodigyperformance.com/pr...p/pro-2001.htm
The Stage 1 kit listed does not specify manual or auto. Is it the same kit until you get to the intercooler (Stage 2)?
That seems like a reasonable assumption at this point. The only manual/automatic difference we've heard about is that the automatic will require a trans cooler relocation and/or a custom intercooler.
Then again, I would never order a big ticket item like this online based on assumptions. Better to call and get answers before ordering.
Just put a deposit on a Stage 1 kit. Here are the numbers directly from Dan via email.
Turbo Kit $4999.99
Auto Trans Kit $159.99
Turbo Blanket $179.99 (Optional, but highly recommended)
Total Cost for Stage 1 (Auto) with blanket = $5339.97
They are taking $2500 deposits on their website to get your name in the que. Got to www.prodigyperformance.com and search for "Prodigy Performance Deposit". You will then be able to put a deposit of $2500 down.
Dan's email stated they plan to ship the first units beginning the week of May 4th.
