Sounds like the stage 1 is on par, and for on par, just doesn't sound worth it (for the problems, the lengthy install, or the turbo lag.) (Please understand, this is NOT a knock on anyone that went this route as I think it is incredibly awesome that you did it vs. us fully aspirated slow-pokes, and I really would take either if given to me )

Jeeplab... Screw the dyno, screw the analysis. Line up all three Jeeps, the RIPP, the Magy, and the Prodigy, hit the record button on a camera and lets watch these suckers do a race-off, IN 4 HIGH, and then post it on YouTube, and we can just end this once and for all.
First, you have to keep in mind that the turbo is brand new, any power mod is going to have hiccups out of the gate. Its an evolution, and the turbo is behind both SCs in time on public jeeps getting feedback from everyone. All the power mods impove as time goes on.

We didnt "mod" anything when we put the Turbo in.

As far as lining them up 3 wide and smashing the gas pedal- The trucks themselves are not apples to apples -

Black Betty - RIPP SC
4 door
4.56 gearing
Aluminum Armor
37 inch tires

Sweet Pea - MAGNUSON SC
4 door
4.10 Gearing
Stock 32 inch tires
No armor

Jesse's Girl - Prodigy Turbo
2 door
4.88 gearing
37 inch tires
Steel metalcloak armor/flares

If they were all the same gearing, wheel tire combo, overall weight, Id have no problem lining them up.

They are all manual trans, and they all get dyno'd with 32 inch tires. So we try to cut the variables out that way. So its an engine, Stock drive train, power mod, and standard wheels and tires.
