So who else noticed that they are working on a jk and not a jl or a jt in this video?

[@nitroxide17]

Yes! What’s with that?

[@425TAWS]

The install is essentially the same for both the jk,jl,&jt. I’m sure that’s why. 🤷

[@reidhulshof3645]

There is some overlap in 2018 between the jk and jl. My guess is the kit is made for the updated 3.6 and 2018 JKs may use the same engine. Either that or it just flat out works for 3.6 in general

[@godzillagarage7.3]

Installed one for a customer today. Pretty straightforward installation but the location of the intercooler pump is nuts!

[@organicmechanic8170]

I need one of these for my JT! I just installed a 3.5" lift kit and suspension but I can't wait until I can install a Magnuson TVS1900!

[@harisshuja3980]

Just waiting on that CARB EO#. Gladiator definitely needs this, should be illegal to make a new vehicle so slow. Thanks for making a kit and a great video.

[@onebridge7231]

Try growing up in the 90’s. Our corvettes only had about 285 to 300 hp. The Gladiator’s 285hp is not really too bad, but I’m planning on supercharging mine too!

[@onebridge7231]

Make sure if you have a JT to disconnect the small battery for start stop as well. Just to be safe.

[@husb777]

I trust your products i will buy one for my hemi 345

[@This_is_My_Story]

Well I know what I have added to my list of mods for my Jeep.

[@gavinpotts4436]

We want a supercharger for the 2tr-fe!!! Bet you can’t!!!

[@user-nl4sf1ei6d]

😮 Getting the oil filter out and in, during oil changes, must be a pain in the neck with this setup?

[@kevinmcguinn200]

The area where you guys are having people relocate the Purge valve is not good. Most if not all of us are experiencing a loud tapping noise almost like a Woodpecker is tapping on the firewall. The fix is to completely relocate that valve to an area by the ECU so its away from the Firewall area. This valve is loud to begin with and is why FCA buries it underneath the engine shroud by the injectors. I have pictures of where mine was relocated and that took car of the problem. I did forward them to the people at Magnuson. Other than that this kit is the bomb!

[@jasonasiancajun8950]

Do you have the 410 gears ?

[@dcmorazan6800]

I have a 2014 JK and they are selling me a supercharger from a JL, can I get it to fit?

[@dcmorazan6800]

Tengo un jk y me están vendiendo un magnuson de jl , puedo ponerlo en el jk

[@SpokaneMike353]

Goals!

[@swtprg]

I have a 2020 JT that I am willing to be used to install one of your superchargers on. Simper Fi!

[@DeanJohnson67]

I was thinking ..... did he remove the wheels to lower it or is he 7' tall ;) My JT w/3.5" lift with 35's I'd be standing on some platform to reach the back firewall area and I'm 6'4....also I will personally be replacing the gaskets shown as well a serpentine belt as my 2020 has 40k miles and counting...

[@nitroxide17]

That’s a JK

[@swagbucksman34]

I need a install video for the 03 silverado

[@MrCheerbo]

i need my jeep to be done

[@dianna9465]

How is the oil change affected?

[@jasonasiancajun8950]

I wonder how long of life will you get out the eng with this

[@preston6618]

For any on this thread who has done a supercharger on their Gladiator… Should I pull the trigger on a super charger or hold off and save for the Hemi swap? Basically, was it worth it? Did you gain substantial power for cost? And did you do so without ultimately ruining your engine?

[@jesusjuice7592]

Hemi swap is 3x the price. You gain 59% more WHP. If you "Ruin your engine" You're an idiot

[@MicDropBBQ]

I run a Procharger on my 2011 JKU that I took from a 2020 Gladiator. The guy had 4k miles on the Procharger but was trading the truck in. I bought the kit from him and built it to custom fit my 3.8 engine. Build is actually on my channel on my Wrangler Mods playlist. Runs like a dream. Installed it at 190k on the engine and now I've got 254k on the engine, and it runs better than when I got it stock!

[@St.PierreProductions]

I want one of these kits so bad. If only they could hook it up with a sponsorship or raffle of some sort. LOL!!!!!

[@soberanoluis]

Not for a 2022 jt?

[@FranciscoHugoGarcia]

if a company just use JK to show case their JL JT installation, wonder what goes in the product redesigns.

[@bmac6721]

I can't imagine their being to much difference between em since it's the same engine but who knows

[@budbrown6694]

@@bmac6721 engine has differences... and they don't seem like much until you're working on them.

[@bmac6721]

@@budbrown6694 such as?

[@budbrown6694]

@@bmac6721 after 2016 engine now features two-stage variable valve lift (VVL), a cooled EGR, a new intake manifold, new fuel injectors, and new ignition coils. It also features upgrades to the variable valve timing (VVT) system, an increased compression ratio (11.3:1), lower internal friction and lower weight. These improvements help to increase power as well as efficiency. But in the JL even the oil pan is different. They reduced weight, and re-routed things, the intake is different, not just the plastic cover. There are a lot of differences that don't change the "core" of the engine, the HP and Torque are higher, the lifters are different. The computer is WAY different. Lots of little things that add up.

[@Hammer013]

Will this work on a Sport S?

[@MollydogRadar]

Wish I could afford it.

[@winstonandrews2101]

how much boost was it set on

[@sarcmtngoat]

I have a 2022 Mojave, I pull a 3500lb boat. What is the better option: install the supercharger or get the Diesel model? Thanks.

[@rockdwg]

so would this be ok to put on a 2018 JL with about 50K miles on it or is it better to do something like this with alot lower miles??

[@budbrown6694]

That should be fine, but this is not a jl. Find the one for yours and set it up right Also, do a full time and fluid flush when you do it.

[@markfelder4819]

Title says JL but the vehicle is a JK?

[@yesenialove81]

I would love to install one of these on my 2020 Gladiator, but wondering if this is legal in california?

[@swagbucksman34]

Probably not nothing is legal in California

[@budbrown6694]

And if you eat it, it will give you cancer... according to the lable

[@jesusjuice7592]

Yes Smog legal if you its done by Certified Magnuson Installer.

[@aether1230]

A whole install video and no start up to hear it 😥

[@phillipcraggs6202]

Yo, this is not a JL your working on...

[@budbrown6694]

You are so detailed in your work and it shouldn't be overlooked at all. Its upsetting because you made little mistakes upfront that can mess up a lot. The major problem is that your title says JL/JT, and based on that the part number you gave either is right for a JK/JKU a not for a JL/JT or you gave the right partnumber and did a video on something totally different. that's a JK (2011-18) not a JL or JT (2018-present). Different platforms, major and minor differences. The Schrader valve on the fuel rail works to release pressure from fuel rail. Without the risk of backfire, and knocking. Why the hell are you re-using gaskets? Never do that... never...they stretch, and adapt to heat. New gaskets and seals are less than 200. Do it right or don't do it. What are you not checking torque values? You're adding forced induction... and no thread locker either... one or the other at least, yeah I know that you don't have to use thread locker and sure you may have the bolts tight enough? But overtightening is a thing, bolt stretch in a forced induction setup can cause failures. The places you needed antiseize didn't get attention either. Then at the end you wiggled the lid on the wet RTV... but there you finally mention torque...and then follow it up with lock tight on hex inset bolts and pulley bolts, why not in the places you didn't torque? Nit picks: Those aren't fog lights... they are blinkers. Jeep fog lights are all in/on bumper Why wouldn't you delete the evap system if your plugging the port on the super charger? Did you check that your vacuum booster can hold the increased vacuum? Sucks when those pop. Straight up you did a good job, and the jeep will likely run without issue for a long while. The problem is that when it has one problem associated with this work, all of those become extra work that will need to be done in a cascade effect.

[@MicDropBBQ]

I run a 2011 JKU with the 3.8 engine. My engine looks nothing like his. I added a Procharger on mine (videos on my channel), and our engines aren't the same. If this is a JK he's working on, it ain't a 2011 for sure.

[@kenndeike287]

Come on kill the music

[@BernardManansala]

Uhmmm... That's not a JL or a JT.

[@markfelder4819]

Wtf. Right.

[@def-supreme5409]

Leave from the gas station., then return 1 hour later; not worth it.
