have anymore pics of that set up? i was just going to ask how anyone was planing on mounting a turbo with the tbi because it has different belt set up.

Belts don't matter since it's still sitting above the alternator.  Just look at Rob's build.  His turbo sits on top of the alternator where the A/C unit would normally be.

im saying that my jeep doesn't just have a nice big bracket sitting there for an ac compressor that i can mount a turbo to like he did..... i guess ill look at his pics again to see how deep of a hole i am digging.

ok the none serpentine belt jeeps have different brackets for mounting the accessories because each one has to be adjustable to tighten/ loosen the belt.

Ah, OK, well you'll have to make a shelf for it.  Or you could mount it in front of the engine.

now that looks familiar.. ouch no power steering...

no i don't have a turbo.. but some other people here do... i wish my jeep was one year newer because mine is a 1990 (tbi) and in 01 they switched to the mpi. so i don't have as many options for power upgrades as the mpi2.5ls do. and its agonizing because i have a turbo siting in my shed that i cant use.

You can turbo a TBI motor as well. You can keep the stock injector and use a 3 to 1 FMU. There is a guy on www.homemadeturbo.com with one.

i posted that a few months ago and have later rethought of how it could work.. aka get more fuel.. "3 to 1 fmu"?... guess i need more time to look on that sight.. a quick scan proved to be fruitless.

Why would anybody want to Turbo a 4 banger???

This sounds interesting but when I searched for the E-book it was no longer available, anyone know where they sell the book now?

Thank you to Rob for the email

Found this thread on a 4.0L Turbo.  I think he'd be better off moving the whole turbo more forward.

Ya I'll say lol
Their just heading down a road that will have nothing but headaches for them in the long run.

It looks like a pain in the but to change the cap/rotor/plugs/wires with the turbo that far back. Who knows?

Thought I recognized this Jeep...
