Has anyone had any problems with the ax5 after the turbo mod i figure that i might not be able to handle that much power

and has anyone dynoed once they did the turbo just wondering what to expect performance wise.

My year came with the NV Transmission..

I'm have 5 adapter plates made right now for the turbo swap on the 2.4L 3 are spoken for so I have 2 for sale..

you can a photo of the adapter plate on my turbo thread in the 4x4 tech section of reno4x4.com

I was thinking would it be possible to do a top mount intercooler

If there is room I would think so.  You would need a scoop like the Subaru WRX:)

I dont think a scoop like that would work if this is a daily driver; Wranglers have a low pressure point in the middle of the hood, and air wants to go OUT that way, not in...  And I am not sure if it will cool enough in the other direction because air from the radiator (and AC) will be getting to it (although that is not that hot when driving down the highway, it COULD be too hot for trail use).

Anyway, just my 2 cents...  I dont have a turbo, so dont listen too much to what I am saying!
