more oompa
oh hi! so i have a 2010 JK that i've owned since new. Just finished paying it off! WOOT! just rolled 150000 kilometers on the odometer. my question is.. when is it too late to add a supercharger or turbo to an engine? as we all know the 3.8L is a joke of an engine. i looked into V8 or diesel swap and i ain't got that kinda of money or time. i have enough time though to do a SC or turbo install. is it too late with that many kms to install something like that? and my short block assembly was replaced around 32000 kms due to casting sediment accumulation so the lower portion of my engine is a bit fresher than the top end and i haven't really abused my engine, no 4000 plus shifts and shit like that. any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. cheers!

check compression and check oil consumption. if both are still in the green go for it. Its not really an age thing that limits boost its a wear issue. As long as the engine isint worn out and leaking you can add boost.
