The original 2.5L out of my 82CJ5 blew up on me... Got a rebuilt 2.5L installed... But there's just not enough power for me. Are there any bolt on's or just general tuneup stuff that I could do to make it put out a little more pep?

Lower gears are the best bolt on you can "feel".

I have a 93 wrangler 2.5 5speed and we just got done making a junkyard turbo setup. works great. small t3 turo from a volvo, intercooler from the same vehicle, gm two bar map sensor. stock injectors and fuel pump and some 2 and 1/4 inch tubing. it doesnt have the power of a v8 but for roughly 500 dollars its a big difference.

gees, watch it there buddy! this aint the PBB....
Ive seen a ton of hybrid swaps like yours, they are all different and innovative...so ya I was curious as to how it was set up, I've done more than a few turbo's myself...
what kind of problems, if any have you had to take care of along the way? like detonation and pressure regulation....

First let me say im sorry for jumpin the gun and assuming. but there is one problem i still cant figure out. it makes good power until like 4500rpm then it seems to mis or backfire. its prolly something easy, im not sure yet. right now i just keep it under 4500.

ya I've run into that also, a bit to much boost can make it do that, also the timming not retarding enough per #'s of boost.
for the rocks you probably rarely need to run it tha high anyhow....
