Awesome guys. Thanks everyone for the information. Please keep it coming. I was thinking about the OVS system from the get-go. Just my research of websites etc. I have noticed many things that I really liked with your system. My one big question, to OVS, is why you dont have an intercooler set-up included in your turbo systems (I know you can get it as an upgrade) like other systems have included with their kits? Also, are there any large mods, to the sled itself that you have to do to an M1000 turboed (I know you have to redo clutches, but what about engine mods - less compression? different pistons? that sort of stuff).....The intercooler question was just a question, I didnt want to make it sound as if the other systems are better than yours. I do appreciate all info from everyone though.
If there are any questions, or discussions etc. that anyone wants to do through PM, phone, email...instead of this post, please let me know. There may be things that people do not want to speak about publicly, and I completely understand that. I just figured that having this thread for myself is great, and than others can read also.

Nobody knows cats like cutler. This only shows the M6-M8 kits but I have talked to him and he does have a M1000 turbo ready to sell this year.

dodgedart68,
The intercooler with a fan is just one of the options offered by OVS and is done that way for those that don't want the extra weight of an intercooler. Personally, I will have an intercooler on my sled because of the length of climbs that I make, and the hp of the sled far outweighs the extra weight.
There are engine mods for the M1000 that can increase the power delivery substantially and an aftermarket pipe for even further increase. There is also a big bore available for the M1000, so your options are many. You will need to contact Travis 801-940-7777 for pricing on these options.

Important to note that Cutler is also using garrets this year too. Fit and Finish is fantastic on his new kits. Give him a call and ask him all about it!

As brad said the intercooler is a option that works well because of the crazy stuff in Canada that he climbs that is forever long. I do not run the intercooler because I choose to not have the extra weight on my sled and I run 16lbs of boost and have never had the need for the intercooler. This is a monster debate that I will not say one way is better than the other it is a matter of choice that is why we offer it as a option. There are alot of mods that can be done to the M-1000 to increase the performance over a standard turbo M-1000. You do not need to modify the engine at all to run the turbo set-up we have.
P
The porting is only done on people that want the full mod turbo's. We have found no need to lower the compression on the M-1000.
what altitudes, boost levels, and octane have you guys been safely using on just a stock M1K motor?

matty mac I ran my sled with stock porting from 2500 ft to 13500 ft up yo 10#s on 50 /50 and up to 16 on straight 112, although with the stock port height above 11#s didnt seem to make a big diffrence in power when you turned it up, dropping the port heights helped with this ,if I added 2 galons of 116 to a tank of 112 I could run 18#s no problems.

What a great read. Should keep this thread going. Im guessing Im not the only one looking for more info on this stuff.
I am kind of leaning towards one kit. Is there that much of a difference? If a guy found a good deal on one, would it be worth passing up to get a different kit? Or are most of the mainstream kits pretty close?

OVS has ran the stock engines on both the M-8 and the M-1000 and the 800 Dragon on 110 race gas at 18lbs with no problems. These sled's are never turned down below 12-14lbs of boost. These sled's do not have the intercoolers but we do have the intercooler option for those who want it. We do run a stainless air filters designed for turbo charged engines. We do not use cold air intakes because they prove to be restrictive and cause power loss and turbo damage even on the Garret turbo's. OVS has endless hours on these sled's to provide the best turbo sled in the industry. OVS wants to thank people like Brad Story who very possibly has more seat time and R&D on turbo sled's than any person in the industry for letting people know that the OVS kit is the best kit he has ever ridin.

noise??
Here's a dumb question..."How loud is a turbo over stock exhaust?" I see BD puts the exhaust out the tunnel and OVS out the side panel and some kits seem to have no muffler. I'm a flat lander in Wisconsin and this would be huge issue for me. I'm running a 1200 kit right now into the stock can.
BTW...I talk with Travis for almost an hour and he had me sold!! BUT I've held off so far...I don't want to make my sled unrideable in my area.

sorry paul but most kits are very loud. they do put a muffler on the ovs kit and make it better but they are still loud.
S
I agree with Mark they are a bit loud in the powder the tunnel dump was not all that bad but in the hard pack it does have a ring to it.
I want to hook up with Travis this fall to see how quite the new Aero 66 is.

The garret kit is alot quiter with the muffler than the tunnel dumb and the no muffler system pipe like twisted turbo that was copied from the old BD turbo's.
The Aerocharger turbo kit is very quite. It sounds like a stock sled with a bikeman can.

plt my no muffler systeme is accually a muffler, and bd never did anything that was 3 in. It was accually coppied from brad and some set ups he did last year for a few lucky customers, one guy had both set ups and accually liked the light weight model better, that the dyna teck that you use, witch I also offer, but everyone is picking the lighter of the 2, witch I will use on my sled as I have decided to go as light as I can this year, I hope I can take 20 lbs just out of my spare tire..

Me too maybe we should hit the gym (NOT) 12oz curls are more fun. How much does that whole assembly weigh.
