A turbo will work way better than a supercharger on an off road vehicle.
There is no boost till the engine sees a load. I had a turbo on a 4 cyl. in
a Trooper. With the stock gearing and stick shift it worked very very well
offroad.

erm. A turbo builds boost at higher rpm based on exhaust flow where
superchargers are belt driven and based on demand. Turbos are best
for flat out racing and highway performance. Superchargers are best
for increasing low end HP.

Eggshually an exhaust driven turbocharger creates boost based on
the temperature and volume of exhaust gas, or more correctly the
differential in both of those across the driving side of the turbo.
Engine load has very little to do with it in that if you lug your
engine in a high gear you are not gonna get more boost, you'll just
risk cooking the turbo. Although you *could* get useful boost at
crawling rpm by using a teeny tiny turbo, it is far easier to do
so with a mechanically driven supercharger. A supercharger can
generate boost at pretty much idle rpm if desired.

Re: Turbo on a Jeep
Yup, pretty much anything may blow the doors off a turbo charger
from a dead stop, by the time they spool up it's time to change gears
and another two second delay, during which your Father's Oldsmobile has
won the race and is shutting off.
