I'm in the exact same boat. None of the aftermarket guys are giving me much confidence. At the end of the day, my car is worth about $10grand, putting 5k into turbos and then another 2-3 for a new clutch seems crazy.. I'm at 94k miles and know my turbos are on their last leg.

I don't know why it didn't hit me before but OEM through FCPEuro now seems like a no brainer with that warrenty, has anyone had success getting them replaced through FCP?

I want to but my wallet doesnt want to continue down the path to more power (LSD, Fuel,etc). I'm FBO and the car is plenty powerful (did I just say that?!?!)

I'm planning to hang onto these turbos till they die and hopefully by then will have purchased a new wrangler as a DD (I'm about a year out). Then I'll put my car up on jacks and tackle the turbos and clutch at the same time in my garage. I've watched countless videos and there doesn't seem to be anything too complicated aside from frozen bolts and tight quarters.
