- 2018 Black Jeep Wrangler Rubicon jl
It will be quicker but that’s it I don’t like the way or how a turbo sounds . Also in time you will have to rebuild the engine don’t want to deal with realibility issues . Live in Los Angeles always in traffic so not really going to take advantage of turbo .There is so much stupidity in here its unreal. BaldEagle, the 2.0 turbo in the Alpha is a completely different application in the Wrangler. I has no BSG and is tuned for a different power delivery. It has an closed deck block which is stronger but the Wrangler has an open deck block which is better for cooling.
Sstarx3, being better in a straight line is not all a turbo does. coupled with the BSG and tuned the way it is, it delivers significant torque low in the RPM range to keep the Jeep driveable both on and off-road. I'm going to laugh at all these Pentastar fanboys who are going to be regretting their purchase once the 2.0 hits the streets.
I had a 2012 with the NAG1 and it was a significant upgrade over the 3.8, but based upon the reviews ive read and my knowledge of 2.0 turbo applications in other vehicles I am sure this is going to be the dark horse platform of the Wrangler.
