Turboing the 2.5L

So I had a '98 Eclipse until I totaled it. Now I want to get into off-roading a little... As much as you can do that in Michigan! Anyways, I have all the stuff to turbo a 4cyl, and I've been looking at a 2001 Wrangler. I just need to know where to get some injectors, a clutch (it's a 5spd), and I need a guess as to what boost this engine can handle on stock internals. Also, is there a place to put a decently sized intercooler?! Any and all help would be appreciated. I've searched this forum a little, but if there's something I missed, feel free to direct me to another thread. Thanks :cheers:

Are you going to put a turbo on a jeep? Your nuts.

HA! Maybe, but you're got to admit that it'd be fun! I've got a small Ball Bearing turbo that'd be perfect for creating power at lower RPMs. I was looking into the engine bay of a 2001, 4cyl. and I noticed that the radiator could be moved way back to create room for an intercooler.
However... I just drove a 6cyl on 33s and I'm in love! I couldn't drive the beast over 65mph though. ...Second thought, I bet the speedometer was off due to larger tires and a stock speedo gear, so maybe I hit a whopping 70! lol
I've turboed every car I've ever owned, and I'm sure I'd even do it to a 6cyl, so I'll update this if I ever get it done. Feel free to give me any advice you can! ... I especially need to know where to get the largest axles possible and where to get injectors. Thanks!
