i haven't tubo'd an xj, but i have turbo'd a few other cars. i know you'd need to control fuel and timing, so i would recommend a nice standalone engine management. the list would go on and on. alot of stuff you don't NEED and i've seen some cheap turbo setup ups, but why cheap out on a turbo setup when you want it to make power. you'll need injectors, fuel pump, exhaust, ic, and spare parts, cause depending how you drive you'll be replacing alot of parts.

i have a ~400whp vw corrado

A trail ridden XJ has no use for a turbo.
