The only changes in the engine were new fuel injectors for more volume of fuel to go with the increased airflow. Honestly, I dont think it is a bad idea if you keep the boost to 5PSI, but I just have a great deal of things I need to do to my jeep that go before this one, so I will not be doing it anytime soon.

Also, the reliability factor is a big unknown. The guy who did it told me he had 3K miles on his Jeep since the conversion. Since mine is a daily driver, that is not nearly enough reference for me to consider his Jeep reliable. So I'll wait until he rolls around a bit more before running to do my trbo conversion. But it is possible I will end up doing it down the line.

Red,

I think even in the rocks it could be beneficial if you change gears to say, 4.88 or higher, as then, in L4 the crawl ratio would be fairly slow, and you could rev your engine a bit more and have the turbo kick in. What I worry about is the axles and shafts holding up to more power at one end, and larger tires at the other. This would significantly increase stress on parts known not to handle stress to well... So this mod would probably involve new shafts and axles (8.8 maybe?), so it would be done AFTER all the other mods are finished, and that should be a good couple of years in the future...

	Crawl Ratio Essential for serious off-road treks involving steep hill climbs and descents, this is the final drive ratio of a vehicle in low-range. It allows Jeep vehicles to “creep” along (without depressing the accelerator) at very low speeds. Essentially, the vehicle does all the work. Crawl ratio is determined by this formula: first gear ratio x rear axle ratio x low-range 4WD ratio. The higher the number, the better the off-road capabilities.
