They've sold how many? And how many prodigy turbos on the road? Based on those stats alone the prodigy should have been pulled from market.

Google Jeep JK issues. You own one of those. What happened there? It was barely a year ago when you just started researching forced induction. You quickly focused on the turbo and never looked back. You couldn't be more biased. You have no experience with other product.

Your entire focus was max power. In that case, you made the right decision. You're an anomaly in the JK world. No issue there, but no need to comment on RIPPs sale thread with baseless comments. That's what they do at WOL. Is that where you hangout?

How are these RIPP superchargers on the trail? I may consider this as I don't have the knowledge or money to do a hemi swap

I said it because unlike you, I have the skill set to install a hemi for less than the cost of forced induction. In context, I made that comment to state I have no bias to one forced induction option over the other. For some people, a swap isn't an option.

Anything else you want to add?

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.
