Just heard a rumor about the 2014's. Polaris will offer a turbo (boondocker) on the Pro. 5 pounds of boost.

my local polaris dealer had a 2013 demo last year only for a couple of days and polaris told them they need to let boondockers have it for the rest of the season. so who knows what they got going on

I was expecting it this season on the 13's...I too have heard it from a very reliable source....who also hinted at a jack based big bore....my guess, it is polaris's way of catching up in the hp games....my guess something right around 175hp..with computer controlled ebc..so they can keep everyone honest and still have a warranty..........we can only hope..I do know this...polaris is dead set on having the baddest sleds on snow..that I have been told by every factory guy I have had convo's with over the last 10 yrs....

I wouldn't read much into that one.
Boondockers gets a demo every year from Polaris after the demo tours have wrapped up. They slap a turbo on it and try to get themselves ready for the next production year.

Like what' HM Turbos is going to do with the ViPec. THEY control the parameters, including boost. The end-user doesn't have anything to do with settings.

Factory turbo would be nice if it added reliability (compared to a bolt on turbo) and had a good price point.

Cripe, we all know Poo tries to avoid honoring their warranties anyways, whether you are stock or not.

I don't see how they could add a factory turbo and meet the stingy emmision requirements unless it is a 4-stroke like CAT did...DOH!

Good luck putting a four stroke in the pro chassis, it would twist that chassis like a pretzel.. I have heard from a mouse in the corner a 600 turbo, makes sense very reliable and low emission small block! With about 180hp

I'd be tickled pink with a new design engine (for Poo) that would be first, reliable and second, puts out an arm rippin' 165 HP without a turbo. I'm thinkin' a new ZOOK!!! mill.
