What kind of turbo?

Wow, I thought it was pretty simple. The xm is an inferior chassis to the gen 4. Spend all the money you want and you get a faster inferior chassis.
I'm really torn what to do. So I just bought this 16 T3 174 and if I sell it now I'm gonna take a hard loss. Turbo it and enjoy for a couple years or cut my losses and get the new model?
Any current turbo owners tried the new G4 and have an opinion with more insight?
cause I'm from BC I pay through the nose. After taxes I paid mid 17 grand. I figure i'll get 10-12 for trade in now....5-7grand hit. Thanks to Alberta oil hitting rock bottom no one is buying jack, my Nytro hasn't got a single call from anything west of Saskatchewan.
I went though this exact thing last year. I have a 2015 xm T3 and i Love it. I thought about buying a Gen 4 but for half the price with a trade in i went with a turbo.
For performance my XM will minimally out perform the Gen 4, i can back this up as i had a day where i could rip a line, then jump on my buddies Gen 4 and run the same line. The Gen 4 would still make it to where the turbo went but it just took a little more dangle. I ran full av gas in my sled and 5lbs of boost to try to keep it reliable.
If i had to do it again i wouldn't turbo, i would save a buy new. here's why. I like the performance of the turbo, i like to be in front of the Gen 4s, but the turbo makes the sled insanely unreliable and i don't mean the motor. These sleds are not meant to have that much horsepower put to them. I was on a trip and blew my reeds out (stock), had to come home early. I was out on a huge powder day and twisted my driveshaft and stripped my drivers (stock). Aside from that I usually only get 500kms to 750kms on a belt stock sled, with the turbo if you stay pinned for any length of time it will blow a belt. I was going through a belt every 300kms and would pack 3 with me at all times.
Looking back when i decided to turbo i should have bought reeds, driveshafts, clutch stabilizers, anything i could to support the turbo, but by the time you do this you aren't half price of a Gen 4 anymore, your now almost the same price which is why i'd say just buy a Gen 4.
