Default Hello from Prodigy Performance - Home of the TurboJeep!

Hello JK Forum members!

Prodigy Performance is happy to be part of the JK Forum as a sponsor. Our Prodigy Turbo Kits have been installed in Wranglers around the world for 7+ years, bringing our customers a big boost in horsepower and torque for an overall more enjoyable Wrangler experience. Whether you have the 3.8 V6 (2007-2011) or the 3.6 V6 (2012+), we can give your Jeep the power that it deserves.

We will be available to answer any questions you may have, not only about our products, but about increased Jeep performance in general as well. We hope you'll find us to be a valuable contributor to the wealth of interesting and useful information that the JK Forum offers to the community.

2016 is going to be an exciting year for Prodigy Performance, so stay tuned for upcoming announcements.

For now, just sit back and enjoy a taste of turbo:

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

We'll be bringing you more videos demonstrating the performance of our turbo kits in the near future. In the meantime, check out our other youtube videos, including a full series of videos showing step-by-step installation of our turbo kit for the 3.6 Pentastar (2012+ Wrangler): https://www.youtube.com/user/855TurboJeep/videos



Now for a more personal intro:

Hi, my name is Jeff. You can think of me as a liaison between the Jeep community and Prodigy Performance.

When not making official announcements, I'll be keeping it casual and talking like a real person with minimal "marketing speak". You may occasionally see posts from other members of the Prodigy Performance team. We'll sign each post so you know who you're talking to.

Before joining the Prodigy Performance team, I was first a customer. I went through the whole process of researching all the forced induction options, weighing the pros/cons of each, then finally making a decision. I installed the turbo kit in my driveway with the help of my wife and a friend. My Jeep has been turbocharged for almost 2 years and 25,000 miles.

For those of you with some geeky curiosity, I have background/interests/experience in areas such as physics, math, data processing/analysis, software engineering, and embedded software systems that I can call upon as necessary to help with detailed explanations.

And of course, I am a Jeep enthusiast. I've had my 2013 Wrangler Sport for about 3 years now. It's primarily my daily driver that also goes off road for fun several times a year:

(Before anyone comments on the size of my tires, it's being taken care of in the morning: 33x12.5x15 Duratracs )


I look forward to your questions about turbocharging your Jeep!

33x12.5x15 Duratracs on 15x8 Black D-Window Alloy wheels.
I'm also using the AEV 2" spacer lift (in both the before and after pics).

Now I should have better traction to make use of the power on hill climbs and sand dunes. Look for videos of my turbo screaming up sand dunes later this summer.

Welcome. What kind of fuel mileage are you getting with the turbo?
