Actually the turbo setup from the starion has a wonderful powerband for offroading, with full boost coming in at around 2800 rpm. With a lockup torque converter in an A/T, that can be brought down even further. I have done the MPI changeover on mine, and while I haven't dynoed or even finished tuning mine, there are lots of starquestclub guys who have. With similiar mods they are seeing easy #'s in the 275-300 hp range. Adjusting the diameter and length of the intercooler pipes, also really helps (or hurts) the spoolup time. Granted, you can, and guys do, start changing over to really big high flowing turbos, and the powerband starts to go WAAY up, out of usable 4X4 range. When we recently in Co., we had three turboed raider/montys there and they all performed awesome. Even after having trouble with the electronics on mine, I believe this to be the most cost effective DRIVEABLE power there is for the raider/montero
