I don’t have a SC but driving the turbo’d Jeep is the best part of my day (everyday).
Driving my brother's tuned 3.5 twin turbo F-150 makes me jealous.
That engine is a TJ would be dangerous. The throttle response from a dead stop is amazing even with 35s.

I bet!
My rig is nothing crazy, but the boost is noticeable and the slight sling shot effect is fun. Coupled with Blaine’s BBK and outboarding work it’s basically a lifted sports car bc it handles so well.
Oddly enough, one of my favorite parts is how the boost assists the engine under load driving through town and up hills. My MPG went up 1 bc the engine doesn’t have to work so hard under those loads.
I'd love to drive a TJ with a turbo. I drove his truck the other day after he did another tune. I think it's putting out 450 HP and can smoke the 35s. I drove a turbo car years ago and it had to build up boost with the rpms. This has an immediate throttle response. He wanted me to test it out, but I hate driving other people's vehicles. Ive wrecked enough of my own being stupid. His F-150 is a 2022. I prefer to wreck old vehicles when I do.

Lol yea man I’m the same way. I basically refuse to drive other peoples vehicles or toys.
The eco boost has proven to be pretty impressive. My build is obviously nothing like that, but it’s nice being able to outpace traffic.

I do.
p.s.
I'm happy with my Mossberg 590M Shockwave 15" barrel 10 round shotgun. It straps nicely to my rollbar in place of a fire extinguisher that I'd never use. Got to love Walmart and Va gun laws (home security) when buying online.

Where did you relocate your windshield washer fluid reservoir?
I ddi a similar mod but haven’t figured out how to replace my reservoir. Did you keep the original reservoir pump things?
Need some help.
I think the ignition switch lock is not working. I can turn the Jeep on and pull the key out of the ignition with it running. The first sign that something was up was when I was turning the Jeep off but the radio stayed on. I figured out that I was turning it all the way to ON-ACC and pulling the key out. I thought I was in OFF but it isn't the case. I can pull the key out in all 4 places in the ignition switch.
So, how do I fix this?

Moved it to the ABS tray just under the brake booster. I used the included pump. I made a 90 degree bracket from 1" strap 1/8" thick, and used that to come up and attach the bracket for the reservoir. Also grounded the pump to this bolt.

I'll be damned...was wondering what that hell was supposed to go there (says guy with no-ABS-havin' Jeep). Learnin' sumpin' new erry day!
I thought that was Quadratec's new Virtual Airbox. Like magic, it's there, but it isn't...
I do.

You ever try to shoot that one handed? It's a handful.
It’s a Banks kit I got from another member.
If I did it again, I’d probably get a turbo kit from @Jezza and would have FRP tune it.
