For sure a good idea.
And while these JL's have been restyled to aerodynamic bricks , the air filter system, scoops, & exhaust bumped up the mileage... Especially in town. The after market air filter & housing will still benefit an intercooler turbo too. It allows more air to move in faster.
The one thing that doesn't help a turbo are these kits that cause turbulence before it. Turbos just need to gulp a Lot of air, the cooler, the better.

And that intercooler is exactly why a cold air intake helps the Jeep turbo 2.0
The Jeep does not have an intercooler. The intake goes straight into the turbo. An intercooler provides a colder, denser air charge, & could probably help the Wrangler. Just try to tell racers & others that it doesn't work to improve the performance overall. But in these Wrangler's without an intercooler, the better intake, combined with fresh air scoops provides a similar benefit. It may not be as much, but it is definitely noticeable. If you're ever next to me when I open it up, you'll instantly know how much air the turbo engine is sucking in. You can tell the factory system flows much less.

An intercooler goes between the outlet of the turbo and the engine inlet. Compressed air gets hotter due to being compressed. I have not looked for an intercooler on my Jeep, but assumed it has one since I have never heard of a turbo without one.

Take a look at the pics I posted a little while ago. That's my '22 JLR 2.0 Turbo. No intercooler. And yes, I understand where an intercooler goes . (I may have worded my prior posts to where it wasn't clear). And they often mount in front of the radiator or lower so they don't pick up heat off the radiator or engine. If mine has an intercooler, it must be mounted behind the engine or something. The outlet of the turbo goes right to the intake under the engine cover.
And, I would love to be proven wrong... If you can show me where the intercooler is... I can make sure it gets proper airflow to do its job.

I looked around. There's a water-cooled one inside the intake manifold. Stupid.

Oh just ducky . It takes a manufacturer to come up with something as stupid as that. Might as well just plumb straight in. I had just thought that was the new style manifold. But that's all I would've expected from them, a water cooled one. Which doesn't nearly cool it enough at the temps today's engines run. This is just as bad as whatever engineer came up with the starter under the intake manifold in the valley. Don't know the manufacturer, but I've seen pics on mechanic sites.

BTW, Thank You for pointing that out. I had not researched far enough to find there was an intercooler Inside the manifold.

I've been looking at other info on forums & sites. One guy claims water cooled is more efficient. Don't know how that could work with coolant being 100 degrees or higher than ambient air. But then another guy claims the intercooler has its own, separate coolant. Not sure about that, but I'll take a closer look at mine to see if it's the case.

I have the 3.6 along with the EVC pedal controller and I think it made a good difference as well even though several say cold air intakes are just snake oil . It at least sounds better if nothing else lol. I still have to get the dual outlet muffler at some point.

Sorry we hijacked your wave thread, lol. #FastAndFurious #TurbosMakeMeHorny

I apologize too. It all started with me noticing your intake system. Still glad to have you here.

Eddie Rickenbacker (a different Eddie) learned quickly that Arizona was a place with special needs. The pistons in his cars were expanding and getting stuck in the cylinder bores. So Arizona became a proving ground.
