Hi everyone. We are starting a new sled build and wanted to share the transformation with you. The sled is a new 2011 Arctic Cat M8 Sno Pro 162". We will be installing a new Boondocker Turbo system and a bunch of other cool goodies. We are going to start working on it tomorrow, beginning with venting and some other bolt on goods.

Here is a list of the parts we are going to be installing:
Boondocker Race Gas Turbo
Turbo smart boost T
BD-X Blow off valve
DC power kit
Mo Flow center hood vent
Skid Performance turbo exhaust vent
Wild child gauge lifter with 2 aux gauge mounts
AEM Air Fuel gauge
Autometer Phantom II boost gauge
Autometer gauge cups
2 Cool side panel vents
SLP Powder Pro Skis
Fox Float Evol R Ski Shocks
Fox Burandt rear suspension kit
Mountain addiction gas can rack with 3.5 gallon can
Fastlane no sno running boards
Boondocker switch covers
Arctic Cat Ice scratchers
RKT hood lift
Cobra Firecat windshield
Arctic Cat knee pads
Arctic Cat goggle bag

Thanks
Woody

Why are you still messing with the Boost T and Boost Gauge? The EBC works and is much easier than the boost T.

we will be trying the newest boost based version when it is ready. We need the sled on display at a couple of events prior to it being ready so we are going this way to start

Going to install Mo Flow center hood vent and BD-X venting in the front bumper to assist in air flow to the intercooler. We will also be installing 2 cool vents in the side panels for more air flow and cooling.

Venting

Ok so we have some venting in place now. We will be ramping up progress but have been busy with other stuff so not many hours in the shop.

The foam they use under the hood is glued in and a real pain to get out. I tried heat, no heat. Not really any way to get it out without leaving a bunch of glue residue. I have found the best way to get all the glue out is power wash under the hood. where the foam was leaves black patches but I just fog a little white primer underneath for a uniform look.

Many of you already know, but for those that don't, the difference in weight with the plenum out and all the foam is amazing. The foam they use now is not that big of a weight deal it is more for sound than anything else but for the turbo sled it holds heat under the hood so it has to go.

BD-X Bumper Venting

We put BD-X venting in the bumper for more airflow to the intercooler:

We put a turbosmart fuel pressure gauge in the key hole and installed the two cool vents and some Arctic Cat knee pads.

Can't do much more until we get more parts.

Skid Performance exhaust outlet vent installed and the Float Evol R shocks are on.

The upper shock mounting bolts required grinding to reduce the OD so we could mount the new Evol R shocks. There seems to be some variance in the mounting bolts in the frame. The part number has not changed for years but I measured the shaft size on a 2006 M7 at 9.40mm and the R.H. side of this sled at a full 10.00mm. The sleeves in the production shocks are 10.00mm and can easily accomodate the wide production tolerances.

The reducers in the Evol R shocks are a tight 9.40mm.
