What are some incentives of goin with a silber vs boondocker? Price difference? Whats silbers snowcheck programs? Only reason I've had my mindset on a sidekick is because I've been around those the most and they seem like a solid product. We travel far to ride so the last thing I wanna do is get out there and have a sled that doesn't wanna run right. Although we bring a spare if room allows. Definately open to suggestions I guess.
Hey dude!
Here is the best thing I can tell you regarding the whole BD vs Silber thing. Go try and find both kits on snow. Ride them if you can. Compare them. My bet is you won't notice a lot of difference between the two. So long as they are setup right, they both run really well.
Technically, they work a bit different. One relies on the ECU being reflashed to deal with the fueling requirements of boost. The other uses a piggyback computer to deal with fueling. One uses an open loop external wastegate whereby boost is adjusted mechanically, the other uses an electronic boost control and an internal wastegate. One you can't use below 5000 feet, the other is good to sea level...but octane needs to be watched.
Both kits come with everything you need to get on snow. Both use the same size turbo. Both are easy-ish to install, though one is a bit easier than the other
Point is, you'll have fun either way. Again, I'm biased, and say so up front! But I also help out around Silber because I believe in the product, and run it myself!
Hope that helps - PM me for more info! Happy to help!
Oh, and Silber's snowcheck pricing for the kit was $3250 last year. Not sure what it'll be this year.
