As a untrained monkey man mechanic, I am fully confident in my comments.....
I agree with Lambert. It doesn't matter what a gain is, with a gain of any sort comes drawbacks. Or in other words....there's is always a price to pay.
Also voids any warranty, and is a very bad idea IMO.
However I know jack poop about this sort of thing.

I imagine it would be quite scary driving a Jimny with that much power. You'd be on the bends too quick and with too much momentum behind you, I bet a lot of them would end up falling over!

Plymouth Gin has this effect on me.
I have to agree, Soeley. IMO, if the Jimny was suitable for this power, it would be offered as an option. It is, what it is.

There is a turbo 'kit' avaliable for the gen3 jimny on aliexpress. I know Kiethy blew up the engine, but that was unlucky and a M13. I think his turbo setup lives on in James Priestly's trayback

from everything i've heard about the gen 4 it seems that a bit of extra power, (coupled to a 6th gear), is just what it's crying out for - to get the revs down at national speed limits. maybe future models will have both.

I wonder what's it like in low 4x4 rock crawling when the turbo keeps kicking in...
