Send me a PM and Ill send you my cell number. I think its easier to discuss over the phone and help you make an informed decision.
I haven't ridden with a BD kit this season so I can only speak to the Silber kit. I've been beyond impressed with it. It rips and no complaints. Easy, quick install and cleanest looking kit in my opinion. They are sexy too... My best advice would be to get in touch with Boston Racing on here... One thing to consider is if you want to cut a hole in your tunnel, I'd rather not personally which is a negative for BD but plenty of people do.
We're do you have to cut the hole as I'm considering one of these kits as well.
It's just personal preference for me m8chris. If cutting a hole in my tunnel was the only way to get a good running turbo sled I would, but it's not. Like I said plenty of folks don't mind it, I'd just rather not if I don't have to.
Another consideration is warranty. There is no going back from drilling a hole through the tunnel. The Silber installs and uninstalls in under 2 hours if it has to go to the dealer.
I thinks its a 2 1/2 inch hole through the tunnel in your right footwell
Correct as I just looked at the BD Sidekick install instructions. Honestly I'm not to keen on that. The Silber kit looks really nice.

You guys are picking kits over what's pretty and install time. Never thought I would see the day. What happened to the days of arguing about performance.
Look at the kits closely. Then do a bunch of research on basic turbo principles. Then come back with your research findings. You might be suprised what you discover and it should answer your questions.

Pretty sure that's because they both rip and I'll bet Silber and BD represent more that 3/4s of the kits on the snow. People don't want to research turbos, they want a turbo kit that puts a smile on their face and I think both these kits have proven to do that.
Can you expand on this a little please? What are the key points you are referring to?
If you are referring to me in regard to not wanting a kit that makes it so I need to cut a hole in my tunnel, I thought I was clear stating if that's what it took to have a good running turbo sled I would cut away, but fortunately for me my Silber kit rips without a hole in my tunnel. I really don't care to research turbo principles, what I have works and works well for me, in the end that's what matters right? If it looks good that's a bonus, no need for rusty ugly kits, sorry if fit and finish means something to some people.
In the end as long as the consumer is happy with the performance regardless of brand that's what's important. Make a decision and enjoy one of these turbos, they take these sleds and the fun to the next level.

Why is anyone concerned about cutting your tunnel and loosing your warranty? Pretty sure your warranty goes byebye when you slap the turbo on. I am only my 3rd BD kit in a row and like the tunnel dump.
That is incorrect. Our customers report getting full use out of their warranties. It no different than taking a can or pipe off. The only exception I could see is if somebody detonated a motor.

What you will discover is you don't need to hole saw your tunnel to get a good running turbo. If performance is the same or better, why not have the kit that is easier and cleaner to install. Plus the Silber kit is stainless so it won't look like crap after a year of riding. If it looks pretty and doesn't run, that is one thing. The Silber kit is pretty and rips. Kind of like having a hot super model wife that can still cook.
That's fraud plain and simple.
The only fraud is Polaris voiding your entire warranty. You don't see Ford, Chevy, or Dodge trying that ****. I agree that there are certain things that shouldn't be covered depending on the mods done, but to deny warranty to an entire sled is wrong. When my jackshaft gets worn because of a ****ty bearing clearance, it should damn well be covered, turbo or not.
