505 Performace makes a turbo kit for the truck using a Garret T60 turbo. So something around that size?
Looking at Mega Squirt for tuning actually.

Re: Homemade Turbo'd Jeep
if you went with something like the AFC you'd need to run almost a double injector, like you would with the AFC hack for hondas.
stock are 19# which is like just shy of 200cc i believe.
so you're gonna need about 400cc of flow, which is around 36# injectors if I remember right, I had this all figured out a while back.
dyno sheet from turbo 4.0 stock to low boost, look at that torque jump. i think this was like 6psi
the guys that do that kit are called 505performance.com. they use the stock exhaust manifold and build a pipe that runs to the other side under the motor and to the turbo. their kit is also non-intercooled.
