First of all,
my JK is 2008 with:
auto transmission
35" tires
4.88 gears
K&N CAI, Borla Long Tube Headers and MBRP Catback
Diablo Sport Custom Tune
lately, I have been reading a lot about those options
the prodigiy price and power gain has really got my attention(5500 shipped to my country), but the problem is i have to swap my auto trans to manual (EXTRA COST)
Ripp is famous and well known and with many videos and dyno sheets 4899$ (707$ shipping !)
Sprintex, 55rwhp and 71lb-f on the wheels for almost 3300$$ (also found a very good price of shipping to my country)
I am hesistant between ripp vs sprintex mostly
and also I wanna about the sprintex if it is better to go with the hypertech tune or a custom tune with the diablo ?

We deliver more power than ANY forced induction system on the market.
Sell the headers and keep the money.
If you already have a Diablo device we can credit you the money and use yours via email.

can the auto trans takes the power that your turbo generates ?

I would steer far far away from anything SPRINTEX!!! I have had some very bad experiances with them, but not on Jeeps. Run DICKS GARAGE and SPRINTEX through Google and you can probably get my whole story, but because of them and another company I am stuck with a $13,000.00 repair bill on my MINI!
The SPRINTEX S/C is worth it's weight in cammel shit if you ask me!

I think when a company sells a product in large quantities you are almost gauranteed o have a percentage of unsatisfied uomrs. As far as asking someone which style or type of something they prefer no matter what it is but superchargers or example, unless you've had tried many in the same application, it's oing to come to a biased opinion,for example I have a sprintex...is it the best for my jeep? I don't know how the others perform

I did not want a system that would rob power to make power, and I wanted a system that was quiet. While the supercharger is cool, I do not care for the constant whine they usually make. I have not taken the jeep off-road, nor do I have any plans to do so anytime soon. I can tell you that the jeep feels smoother, and the engine doesn't sound like it's going to blow up as it is getting to 3k rpm. Do a search for My Build... Prodigy Performance Turbo and you can see pictures of my install.

Turbo is spun by exhaust gas, so depends on engine load. Higher engine load, the more the throttle opens thereby letting more air in, creating more exhaust, and spinning turbo higher creating more boost.
But I am no expert by any measure.
