How many miles are people getting out of their boosted pros safely? And when are your motors starting to go down? Im hoping to hear they can get around 2500 miles on them?

Sled has 800 stock miles on it now, adding boost, hoping I wont NEED to rebuild it this season.

I have chosen to do my top end at 1600 miles. Every mile has been on boost. Sled has had redline oil ran through it from the beginning.... Compression is still good. Just feel 1500 miles is plenty considering the life it's had.

Yeah that sounds about what I thought, depending how my season goes if I feel I get to many miles on her ill rebuild it (probably if I hit 2000), just cant justify doing it at 800 right now and would prefer to not have to mid season if possible..

Going to do the reeds before the season starts, good oil is for sure. As for fuel ill be running chevron 94, itll be a pump gas setup, 6-8psi is the plan, once tuning is dialled on pump gas ill run that until I get bored and decide more boost and AV is necessary.

What reeds have you decided on?

I've had great luck with the stock ones. But Polaris doesn't sell replacement petals. You have to buy the entire cage assembly.

Mountainhorse said boysen super stock are as close to stock as he's seen. So I'm buying a set of those to put on the original cages for a spare set beings I already bought the whole new Polaris assembly.

If i remember correctly they make actual TURBO specific reeds that arent shown on their website, you have to call/email them directly, unless something has changed since I last ordered from them

Yes they do for some applications. I've had such great luck with the stock ones I don't care to try anything else. The throttle response is great, durability has been great. I don't mind changing them once A season.

Just checked online, actually not a terrible price for reeds and cages, still annoying you cant just buy replacements directly from polaris

Yeah. A pain in the arse.

I paid $80 per side for brand new ones.... Not to bad considering there are 4 reeds on each cage for a total of 8 reeds for both sides.

Twice as many as cats

I'm not sold on avoiding v force. I would really like to find out if any changes were made on them recently. If not I'd say I was dooped by Someone who made more money off Polaris then they did v force. And now that v force is on Polaris it doesn't matter.

about 1000-1200 miles, time for pistons or at least do a proper leakdown test and have a look at it. Notice I did not say compression test, you need to leak it to check ring seal. Probably could go longer but its pretty cheap insurance to freshen it at 1000 or so
