Once again like several other instances in this thread you are making personal assumptions about me and things that I possess that are far out of touch. If you would like to debate opinions with me that's fine but it really shows your age/maturity level to in every post take personal shots at me when you in fact don't know anything about me, what I'm capable of, and what I own. I am no better than any other man in the world. I get up every day and put my pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else. I get up and go to work where I am a licensed A&P mechanic that works on aircraft for a living. I travel quite extensively because I have established a reputation of being able to diagnose and fix complex problems when the "experts" can't. I am also quite an accomplished machinist keeping tolerances in the microns in made from scratch parts. I spent my entire childhood up to about 22 yeas old under the hood of cars and trucks doing everything from rebuilding engines to complete motor swaps involving much like a hemi jk, putting much larger engines in vehicles that were never intended for it. I am only laying this out there because I am more than capable of doing anything to my little jk that my heart desires. With that said, keep your personal shots to yourself. I've spent the afternoon just digging and reading about the problems that ALL forced induction methods cause the JK. I could copy and paste a weeks worth of reading in here on Ripp issues alone but that would be biased. Truth is unless you're lucky get ready to deal with some BS.
Happy holidays to you and yours.

This is more publicity than Ripp asked for. What's that other company, where is there free advertisement due to bickering?
Let's be honest though- nobody is buying for power. We buy it so it looks cool under the hood at the mall and adds resale value.

Look, make this simple. Explain your comment and what it means. Otherwise, you made it for no other reason than to troll RIPP. One can quickly infer from your comment that you think peak HP matters. Elaborate.

RIPP thank you for the holiday special!
Both RIPP and Prodigy are great products. RIPP has more installations than Prodigy and has been around longer.
This has been an interesting dialogue
but...
Put a dyno chart for RIPP out and compare it to Prodigy... That will solve the argument pretty quick on who has what where. From other posts I have read... Based on the boost curve Prodigy has more boost than RIPP by 2700 RPM's and is pretty close below that.
The Prodigy turbo is under the hood similar to the RIPP, so water isn't as major of an issue as if it was on the rear portion of the exhaust. To reduce heat you can get a blanket for the turbo. Further Prodigy sells turbos that spool faster than 3000 RPM's

It was slightly on the troll side but truth at the same time. Car manufacturers and anyone else for that matter don't advertise hp #'s that are placed in a friendly usable range. Everyone advertises peak #'s even ripp! Why do you say that peak #'s do not matter when the entire industry advertises it this way?
