If you do decide to go the route of an aftermarket turbo, I would strongly advise against anything with real performance gains. The bottom end on these engines aren’t strong enough for it.

Are you idling your Jeep to cool it off before shutting down? My guess is your shutting it down hot and the oil is cooking inside the turbo.

Your manual has recommendations for when you should idle and cool down before shutting off the engine. Every time I go to shut down I put my heat on full blast and wait until my engine oil temp falls below 200° F before I shut down. Excessive? Most likely, but this engine runs hot and heat soaking your turbo with hot oil will cause issues sooner or later.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. In the summer garages become wicked hot and pulling the Jeeps into an already hot garage without additional cooling probably adds more stress. Interested to know how much heat becomes trapped at that point under the hood for all engines Jeep puts out. Does the 2. turbo would have something similar in it's manual?
