On my old wrx there was a very notable amount of turbo lag with an atmospheric dump valve.
Went back to the recirc and loved the hit.

Its just wasted boost with a "cool" sound.

With a car your not on and off the throttle constantly like a backcountry sled though.

Huh surprised it would help that much, does it actually pressurize the intake? Just seems counter predictive to me

On and off the throttle every shift.
Especially drifting some winding back roads. :)
The car has alot of torque and a strong exhaust pulse so the lag is minimized, compared to the small sled motor.

Being on and off the throttle alot will make the benefits of the recirculating bov more pronounced.

Just my experience with 4-5 different turbo rigs.

What happened with the self lubricating turbos? Does lubricating the turbo from the injector oil have similar longevity results in the end?

Will the water to air intercooler option be a retro fit for the 2014 & 15 Pro Kits?
I would be interested in buying one if they are.

There is plenty of validation for you to ask that question. I too would like to know..... Seems like there are a lot of sliber kits for sale.

I've owned OVS, twisted, Evo, boondocker kits. Never considered the silber stuff due to use of cheap components they used a couple years ago. Heard a lot of bad things about bad turbos....... And I'm really not a fan of the Dobec box but look like they got away from that recently.
Slober turbo is what they call them up here. Sounds like they've improved over the last few years though.

I've seen Silber Turbos work very well from Alberta riding in BC... I've seen some with issues as well... However I've seen CDN manufactures turbo not work so good and really good! Same goes with all...

But ya this appears to be a beautiful kit IMHO...

Rode a buddies kit (the newest Silber kit with the ECU reflash) that was just put on a 2015 Pro last weekend.

I have to say...the sled ran impressively and there was very little turbo lag down low.

Running straight 91 non-ethanol around 6-7lbs boost.

It sure makes doing a re-entry while going uphill easier...the sled wants to point the nose towards the sky while on boost!

My kit came in last night and am super impressed with how well this kit was thought out. Simplistic yet sophisticated, gorgeous design and install will be a snap.

So clean!!

I sure wish I could get mine! Starting to wonder if they cost less because you'll only have it for half the season. Very tempted to just get a Boondocker even though I know this is a nicer kit. :frusty:

So do these kits come with bigger injectors to replace the stock injectors? Just curious cause I'm sure the stock injectors duty cycle would be maxed out with anything over 8 pounds of boost?
