Thats pickles for you. He has been on this turbo for MONTHS. I can't wait for the pics, then we can dissect the install and get this show on the road.Originally Posted by Pznivy
The suspense here is incredible. When you get that picture, don't hold back. Post it up. I wish they'd release a teaser..maybe just the intercooler or some pipes routed around the edge of the 3.6. *drool*

I was looking around under my hood trying to figure out where in the heck one would put the turbo. This picture is incredibly helpful. It still seems pretty close to a lot of heat sensitive things, like the wire loom towards the radiator (can be relocated a bit north) and the fluid container there. BUT, there isn't anything that can't be solved.
Technically..in that location it would still leave the ability to add a snorkel. Not that you would want to if you were looking for maximum air flow, but at least it still leaves room to adapt and head up through the hood or towards the passenger windshield/hood cowl where you could exit. Very cool and good find.
I think a simple turbo blanket would solve your heat concerns without relocating anything: http://ptpturboblankets.com/why_turbo_blankets.php
The fluid container should not be an issue because that's on the "cold side" of the turbo.
Yeah..I was reading a lot on their site and mentioned the turbo blankets back on page 2. I think you'e right in that the blanket would go a long way, even if only to alleviate concerns. The picture is also at an angle, which makes things seem closer than they really are under the hood. Pretty excited now!
this kit is completely going into the unknown on power.... A little birdy told me that the base kit might ship set up for 12 psi. (the amount of their top tier kit for the prior model 3.8 wrangler)
They have a lot of confidence in the pentastar and are not afraid of the extra boost. Their upgraded model, may be well past 12 psi.
MOAR BOOST!!!
Sounds like we will have to start worrying about flipping over backwards in addition to rolling over sideways.
LOL. I can just see you saying that with crazy eyes and a maniacal laugh! "MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!"
