    This looks like a lot of fun. This is a type of driving that most east coast jeepers will never experience.

    It fits! Just barely. I did not have to trim the grill.



    Intake temps are much lower now. About 30*F lower for steady cruising, and about 70* cooler at the end of a full throttle acceleration through the entire RPM range in 2nd gear. The BOV sound is more enjoyable than the sound of air rushing backwards through the turbo.

    Data logs show that there's about 8-9% more air going into the engine from about 3700 rpm to red line. This seems to be in agreement with Prodigy's peak dyno number claims (relative comparison between stage 1 and 2), which show stage 2 having about 10% more peak torque.

    More details to come later.

    Solid work. Its amazing how that fat intercooler fits behind the grill with JUST enough room that no trimming is needed. Prodigy nailed that one on the head.

    Looks awesome now make that wastegate external and let it scream

    Not sure what you mean. It already has an external wastegate (not part of the turbo). Do you mean convert to an open dump pipe rather than reintroducing the bypassed exhaust back into the exhaust system? If so, then no thanks

    The black looks good. What did you do about the stainless clamps? Also liked the mythbuster video lol.

    Pickles is fierce with a spray can! It was a fun conversation we had that, in theory, the black painted intercooler is more efficient because the paint increases the surface area. We all know more surface area does mean more cooling...

    Thanks

    For the clamps, I scuffed them up with sandpaper, wiped them down with rubbing alcohol to clean them, then sprayed them with flat black BBQ grill paint.
