Cold Air Intake mpg / performance gains?

I love the turbo, I researched for about 6 months. Talked to people with turbo’s, supercharger’s, and who put in a Buick V-8. I decided on the turbo with the intercooler and monster exhaust. I then researched munfactures, I decided on Banks because several people who owned them reported no lag. I have not experienced any lag on or off road or in the snow. During my research it quickly became clear that I should only talk to people who made the investment, there are a lot of people who have no personal knowledge make statements not based in fact.

You are experiencing zero lag with your boost, like at all? You understand this is the holy grail of turbo's we are talking about. Do you have a Dyno sheet or video proving it spools immediately with no lag? Not challenging you at all, 100% interested in the system so enjoy asking people who run it.
 
Once I decided which turbo to go with my brother (a mechanic who builds drag race cars in his spare time) and I (motorcycle mechanic with 47 years experience) installed the turbo/intercooler/monster exhaust and uploaded the SCT program in my 04 TJ 4.0 with 50,000 miles over a 3 day weekend. It performed as advertised. To answer your question, no I did not take it to a Dino nor do I have any video proving it spools immediately. I do not feel the need to. It performs the way I want it to, I push down hard on the accelerator and it immediately lunges forward and accelerates quickly until I let off. I don’t feel your reply was challenging, your simply looking for information as I was earlier this year (installation was in June). Good luck in your research.
