I'm telling you, you should check out Prodigy Performance. They produced a turbo kit that is bad ass. Just sayin.

From what I remember about turbos back in the "old days" is that they don;t rerally kick in until higher rpms which is useless for offroad unless you are maybe doing beach/and stuff. I need power for rock crawling.
Yeah.....I'd say its been awhile since you had a Turbo vehicle. I can't think of many Tow rigs.....that aren't Turbo's. The Prodigy Kit is sweet....Power all the way thru the factory Band...No Parasitic HP loss, Maint. is a snap (Way Less moving Parts than any PD Blower). Trust me...I love my PD blowers...I've done a ton of them for other builds......But my JK build is Turbo all the way!

The Sprintex is a nice Unit....I look forward to see them installed and what they can offer for Us JK'ers.

Looks like a right hand drive. See the brake booster on the right side.
