So, no I.C.? That's great news with regards to tuning. You running the 04-05 neon srt map sensor? Care to show some pictures of how/where it gets mounted?

the map is located on the stock brake booster port with nothing else connected to it. all vacuum ports are relocated to the intake side of the charger under the the throttle body. I drill and tap the necessary ports during installation. no boost goes to anything that is only supposed to have vacuum.
How is it running with stock radiator the supercharger, any overheating issue
I ordered these in 2019 and I didn't get a bend in the pipe with the hanger, what year is your wrangler , thats weird , but be careful extending the 02 sensors and you are going to love these they legit open the tj up
Its crazy someone else is actually doing, can u please do an update of a video driving around with both he long tube headers and Charles supercharger

06 wrangler, I ordered with CAT. Looking forward to it, once I get the jeep all buttoned up, Ill do a video and everything.
no issues in the nw climate. mine gets used as a parts runner and a loaner so it gets to sit in traffic a good bit.
I also got the one with a cat, when your installing it , make sure to just turn it on and hear it rev without a muffler, sounds loud asf!!! Can you please do a drive along in the video please!!! Their isn't anything available online besides a 30 second video from Charles of the kit . Seeing it first hand and seeing in action would make me pull the trigger of getting it. I was gonna do the same route your doing the super charger by magnum and the long tube headers but I only ended up getting the headers . Nick the owner from American racing headers lowered the cost of em from $1750 to what their at now like $1350 I asked him why is it so much for the jeep headers when stock engine from junkyard is like 500 . I paid a shit ton but I mean they have lifetime warranty and the performance even without forced induction is plenty on the trails so they worth it. But what I really want to know is how the two combined will perform , the Magnum supercharger with the long tube headers , with a safe amount of boost on stock internals I just want see how it, looks and sounds and how it does in around town driving. Pleaseee can you do an update.

I have installed the Magnum Powers Supercharger and have had the Jeep run once with the stock MAP sensor installed. When I installed the 2.5 bar MAP sensor, the Engine idles and will rev quickly when in sitting still. However, as soon as it is placed in gear and the throttle advanced (either quickly or slowly), it will bog, and continue to bog until I can get it back into the shop where the code reader shows a MAP sensor error. I've talked with Charles, replaced the MAP sensor, checked the wiring, checked the MAP sensor's operation with a hand vacuum pump, and all seems right. The Jeep ran well with the original 4.0L MAP sensor, but eventually overheated after about ten miles, that's when we upgraded to the 2.5 bar sensor that came with the kit. The first MAP sensor wasn't wired correctly so it was replaced with another that matched the one in the kit. Since all the wiring matches the provide schematic that came with the Unichip, I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the Unichip module? I have discussed this with Charles and have tried to contact Tony at Unichip, but we are at a holiday period, so maybe next week. As far as the kit goes, everything was bolt on (but there were a couple of items that didn't arrive, but Charles overnighted them). The hardest part was the wiring when switching the throttle body from the left side of the engine to the right side, along with getting all the throttle body cables reconfigured along with a bracket to hold them in position. It was a tight fit on my 2002, but the hood closes as advertised.

This sounds like tuning to me, however we have had very few issues with the 00-04 since we started using unichip. The unichip isnt working at all for the 05/06 units I've done. I've also struck out on tuning from fast specialties in Vancouver with 05/06 tuning. They couldn't get it correct and ran my personal rig on the dyno at 7-1 fuel ratio and filled the crank case full of fuel and blew the rings off of forged pistons. One of the 06' I also own with the magnumpowers charger, was put together at tnt customs using a few different approaches that were suggested from unichip when they were trying to figure it out.
