Well they are not on a trail or doing something cool but from my work parking lot so far. Some pics from build and final product. Still can't wipe the smile off my face with the power increase.
May want to weld that drain fitting in... it will eventually come loose and leak... Also your PCV has a huge hose going to the Filter... what is that?
Jeep looks great!
This is something I gave thought to during the install as well. However, I settled on a good RTV to supplement the nylon washers and then used red Loktite on the backside nut. Let sit for the remainder of the install before reinstalling so plenty of O2 got to the RTV to fully cure. Don't think I'll have problems but if installed without those precautions, I'd guess it may eventually leak. Time will tell. Also as important is that the drain hose is tied as secure as possible to eliminate or reduce flexing and tension on the fitting. I think the greatest risk for it to leak is not holding the male fitting exactly stationary while tightening the female.
I had a bit extra work to clear the skid plate....
went through the entire thread and didn't see a mention of how the turbo kit affected mpg?
14.7 and 14.5 mpg with 2 tank fills since installing and a majority of that mountain driving with very little highway time and most of it testing/tuning, etc. Actual calculations gals/miles and not what shows on cluster which is more like 12.2ish. So I'm pretty impressed that at the least, it's not worse .
Before the install, I'd average 14.7 to 15.3 with highway/mountain driving.
I installed this same kit a couple months ago. After working out a few bugs with tuning and stuff, it is a night and day difference in power. It's a lot of fun.
I have a 2016 that I purchase with a stage 2 installed. Currently needing a new motor. have you had any issues with you jeep since the kit was installed? Tuning or engine wise?
