It may bolt on, however the entire drive train is probably questionable with the added power, along with many engine parts which are not turbo ready.

To make it reliable you MUST have a way to tune it.

That's the reason the SRT4 caliber took so long to come to market; the torque was too much for any other transmission; IE - you'd need the SRT transmission; brakes, and suspension, probably for it all to work right. The thing is more precision engineered than you think. Just turboing it doesn't = SRT, and in fact will probably break the Jeep, without a more serious look at the suspension and transmission too... as I said in the other thread. <_<

Well, heck, just give it a try like we used to do. It sure beats examining the hell out of everything and then deciding not to try anything ever. I ran a powerful 4 barrel AMC 360 in my J-10 in front of a light duty T5 tranny for years and never had any problems.

If you have the time and money to just goof around with it, go for it. If this is a one shot deal where it absolutely has to work reliably the first time with no additional parts or countless hours of labor, you probably better pass on it.

Sounds like you may need to read this book.

What you have linked is a turbo, but that is only one small(and yes major) piece that is used in a turbo charged engine. The "What else would I need ?" list is huge. You may be able to source some parts from a SRT-4, but I'm not sure if things like the exhaust manifold fits the 2.4.

The only way that an PSRT4 SHOULD happen - is finding a totaled Cali SRT4 that still has the engine/front drivetrain and swap it in. I think it would be sick (as well as adding the Charger RT Brakes up front and Avenger RT Brakes in the back).
