I did the same but modified my manifold for riverside mount. I had problems with my power steering over heating and basically was boiling the fluid so thin it would quit working until cooled off. I tricked my pcm so many ways a.d tuned only with a msd box. How's that piggy back? Is it good enough to only use that?

I had a 98 with the 4.0 back in 2009. That was long before I started getting into modifying my cars. It had a 4spd auto, was slow and sucked gas, so I sold it. 😅

Wouldnt turboing help gas milage too? And the only turbo jeeps ive seen on here are straight piped, do they need to be?

@legocfl9282 2 жыл бұрын

Gas mileage will kind of depend on the application. If you want tons of power, no it won't really help with gas mileage. If you just want a little more power, then yes it's possible to make the engine produce more power even more efficient than stock power numbers. They don't necessarily have to be straight piped, but turbos love exhaust flow, the more the better. IF you take two identical turbo systems, but one is straight piped (assuming all the running conditions are the same) the one that's straight piped will most likely make more power. This is a massive generalization and will 100% depend on your engine and application
