I have 400 miles on my sled and its been ripping this year. Only issue I have had was a cracked airbox but Boondocker sent me one overnight which was awesome. Blew a belt the other day at 400 miles. I have to say though other then the airbox this sled has been pull and go and is so much fun to ride. I added the switch from boondocker that you can turn up the boost 2lbs and its a riot! Just thought I'd give a little update on the sled and that I am 100% happy with my purchase. I will give another update when the season is over.

More info on the switch please.
Good to hear. I really am wishing I would have opted out of the warranty because I've caught the turbo bug...
They basically have a plug in switch that after you flip it up it turns the boost up 2 lbs put it back down and you go back to normal.
Yeah I wish I wouldn't have paid for the warranty I had no intention of getting a turbo this year but it happened.

So that switch isn't like a push to pass button? It gives u a extra 2lbs until u flip it down?
does the switch affect only boost ?
if so you just gotta make sure you have enough octane
or are up enough in elv. ?
thanks
ps thanks for the report

That is correct when the switch is up its at 2lbs more not like a push to pass. I'll take a picture of it this week.
I haven't spent anymore money on my kit other then the $30 switch. It has ran perfect and I personally think for the type of riding I do it has plenty of power and then some to get me into some hairy situations!
Switch only affects boost. I always run 1.5-2 gallons of race every time I go just for my peace of mind. I ride at 6-9800 ft.
Good Question
I haven't been over revving even in set up snow. I've been 8550 all day!
8550 !!!!!!! holy cow batman
That's odd, you would think adding 10-15 hp with 2 pounds of boost would bring up the RPMs.
All I know is the other day when I switched it up and there was fairly set up snow I glanced down and I was pulling 8550.
That right there is what matters :face-icon-small-coo

I'll vouch for the switch. There's a pretty large difference between switch and no switch. I just installed the switch last week. HOLY COW BATMAN!! Amazing. I don't who said you have to spend an extra 1500 on top to get the kit to run right. Mine has been flawless since day one. I've touched nothing. And yes, rpms raised when switch was on. I'm running 2 gallons of 110 with switch on. About 8600 rpms. Keep in mind the 800 HO motor in the axys stock runs a tad higher rpms than the old motor. This sled and sidekick is TRUE pull and go.

The rev Limit is higher but the recommended RPM is still 8250 +- 100. Anybody have access to dyne jims website to see what RPM power drops off at?

Not from what BD recommends. Sweet spot is around 8600.
