Hey Jeepers,
I have a 2004 TJ Rubicon (114,000 miles) with 3.25" Rough Country lift (replaced the RC shocks with Rancho 9000s), and running 33s. I'm considering installing the Banks bolt-on turbo kit. The Jeep seems to be running great and not getting any check engine codes. Jeep is a DD and limited off-road use. My question(s):
1) Is a compression test required (or advised) - and why/why not - prior to installing the Banks Turbo kit if I'm not getting any check engine lights/codes?
2) Is a leakdown test required (or advised) - and why/why not - prior to installing the Banks Turbo kit if I'm not getting any check engine lights/codes?
3) None, one, or both tests required, and in which order if I need to do both tests?
Just curious if the metrics for bad compression or leakdown would first be indicated in a diagnostic code.
Thanks in advance for any input and guidance.
