Has anybody run a turbo on the etec at low elevations? if so what kit and fuel? problems and solutions? think about going this way but cant find any info. We ride from 500' to about 3500' here in alaska.

I rode an Aerochargerkit for two seasons at 800-3000" in Norway on Shell v-power pumpgas with no problems on stock engine. Ran really good at 4-5psi.

be carefull, the BD system I am advisning on has to be run on at least 100ll at sealevel for anything over 3 psi boost.

ANY kit with a stock head at sea level IS going to have fuel quality limitations and overheating issues if the systems builders used the old ( always done it that way ) designs.

Doo has sent donw a lower comp head for testing next week, I expect it too allow 2 psi more boost at best.. ( 6-7 total on 100 ll )..

Seal level with 5 feet of snow vs seal level with 2 ffet of hard groomed packed icey trail are 2 very very different conditions to ride in and require a different plan to be reliable.

I can give some vague details but the folks who are financing this project no longer want me to share specifics..
