Interesting. Their site claims:
Coming from building turbo cars to now turbo Jeep’s everything over stock will create a benefit in one way or another. Smoother air flow from the inter cooler, more air from outside to in, there are several proven benefits to cai and inter cooler piping. Yes exhaust is just as important the larger diameter the great the outcome. But they aren’t going to post false claims online. No large reputable company would risk that. I would recommend doing everything they have listed for the JL to anyone that has a compatible jl
I bet you would hear the turbo more with the Mopar snorkel hood cut-out, and it shouldn't void any warranty:
I did not know the engine put off that much heat. Sounds like tuner, gears for the 37s, then maybe exhaust later down the road,..I bet you would hear the turbo more with the Mopar snorkel hood cut-out, and it shouldn't void any warranty:
As for power, a tuner is going to make a bigger difference than any of other parts, and in my opinion should be first. Intakes make little to no power unless tuned, and a downpipe/BOV probably won't increase peak power either. A catch can does absolutely nothing for power, could void the warranty, and could prevent you from passing an emissions test. Also I haven't seen any evidence that catch cans actually catch anything on this motor.
I installed both Mishi components over the weekend. Slightly more aggressive sound and acceleration at 3500rpm. Install was easy except for maneuvering the new IC pipe into place: it's an extremely tight fit and the only way to gain some space is flexing the rubber coupler connecting the new pipe to the throttle body.
True in that you are limited to the tune. But making the turbo flow more efficiently will allow it to more easily draw in and exhale the air. I've built a whole bunch of FI cars, half of which were turbo. For instance some of the lag experienced with turbos can be attributed mainly to the downpipe, and also lesser to the intake and charge pipe. Allowing the turbo to get to the boost threshold quicker will almost always benefit the engine. If the tune prevents power gains, the turbo will still benefit as it will not have to work as hard. But ,almost always there is a slight bump somewhere in the curve. No add a custom tune, and max the turbo out within it's efficiency level and we are talking big gains, even with stock turbo systems. You still want to balance your pressure drop. Sometimes making things to efficient for the size of turbo...too small of a turbo.. can have the opposite effect due to the airflow losing velocity down stream of the turbo.
So now I've got the Mishi intake and i/c pipe, Borla S-type exhaust, and a Diablosport 93 octane tune. Simply put it sounds awesome under the hood, in the cabin, and at the pipe. I definitely felt some mild performance gains after the 3 bolt-ons, but the tune, which includes a custom transmission recalibration as well the engine and boost, knocked it out the park. Fuel economy is unchanged, even though I tend to get on it a little harder these daysDANG!!!
Would love to see some dyno stats and actual fuel economy

Thank You for sharing. I will probably end up doing this at some point.
