Yes of course because of the turbo and the piping, but i thought the hood louver would reduced the temps more. It does a pretty good job, i can see the heat waves coming out from the vents. But Im still noticing a lot of heat even with the blanket and the louver. It also doesnt help that i live in New Orleans and its super humid down here. Let me know what you guys are doing or if you have any other suggestions.
    Where is your needle on the temp gauge?

    someone here was complaining that they thought their jeep was running hot.

    My Temp needle sits right at the middle. I know this is just a dummy gauge, im not concerned about the engine overheating thats not the issue. Just with the added mods (turbo down pipe right at the front of the engine) causing excessive heat inside the engine bay. I wrapped the down pipe with Titanium exhaust wrap and that made a big difference in the reduction of heat in the engine bay. It was a pain in the ass wrapping the tube inside the engine... No room! took about 2hours. But well worth it. Ill post pics. And just a quick update on the stage 2. Its FAST! noticeable power gain from the stage 1 upgrade! And with the new tune the jeep is running better and better each time prodigy release a new tune. Still data logging and sending it to prodigy for their R&D. Ill get some vids inside the cab as well as outside. And the Gauges are AWESomE! i would recommend boost gauge and the wide band gauge.

    I have the metalcloak aluminum fender liners that replaced the plastic stock liners. They allow much more air movement within the engine compartment and through the engine compartment without really exposing the engine compartment to additional mud and grime when wheeling (to my surprise).

    My hood is also fiberglass/carbon fiber with a scoop. I feel it really forces the air into the engine compartment and (maybe) down and out the fender wells.

    That being said, the engine compartment is very warm when not moving. It doesn't affect engine temps but its enough to throw off my outside air temperature sensor while standing still. It will read hotter than the weather until I get moving again for a bit. No biggie.

    Cant get the jeep in DYNO mode..Both of the shops i have taken the jeep to have not been able to dyno the jeep in 2wheel drive. It will not shift out of 1st gear when on the dyno in 2wheel drive. Southernhotrod, the shop that did my stage 2 install could not get any answers from Diablo or Prodigy on how to get the computer to get in dyno mode. If anyone knows how to get around this please let me know. 2012 jeep wrangler jku automatic.

    Here is a picture of the recovery tank.. They installed in pretty close to ether the stock tank was located, just off to the left some (our left). If you follow the over flow hose you can see the black tank right behind the fan shroud. I'll get a pic of the the boost sensor install. I just need to know what I'm looking for?? Lol.

    Can you provide any details about how that recovery tank is mounted there? I'm not thrilled with the low behind-the-bumper position that Prodigy intends for it.
