Exhaust turbo chargers

[RangerSVT]

Thats some pretty thin frame rails...That must be a dodge...I understand it works for some people, and a weekend wheeler that sees light trail work I would agree it could work, as long as you watch where your terrain...For hardcore wheeling I don't think I would risk it, only for the fact that the oil line is down there and if it catches on something on the trail, your down...Good install though

The frame rails are the same thickness as a Ranger not to mention the front half is fully boxed...

Another option for an off-road rig is putting the turbo in the bed, a number of people have done this with success.

EDIT: Dur, forgot we were talking about a jeep here.

Why not just have a sump for the turbo instead of using the engine's oil supply. Just plumb in a fliter and cooler a you could have a self contained system.

It's been done. Seems like added complexity to me, it's not like running a supply line and a drain line with a pump is rocket science. Not to mention if you do a self contained system you'll need to size the cooler correctly so the oil isn't too cool or too hot.
