Now that it's been out for a few years how have the BD sidekicks been working? I've read a lot of positive stuff on them. I'm looking into getting one for my '16 axys this fall. Have they been fairly trouble free? I'm completely new to the turbo scene and can't hold off getting one any longer haha. Thing is I work a lot and when I get time off to go sledding I want to sled and not have trips ruined everytime I go. I don't mind wrenching or extra maintenance that comes along with it. Only looking for info on the sidekick.
Sidekick??

love mine. Only "issue" i had was i left the foam in the intakes on the hood. It seemed to run lean. Took those out and it was great
I had planned on messing with the clutching but it worked well as delivered.
Mine gets a little DET at WOT below 5kft. i put a gallon-ish of AV for a little safety factor for the pump gas.

I have one sitting in the kitchen waiting to be installed. I have read every review and personal use post I could find.
Seems to be a plug and ride kit.
Looking forward to some turbo charged seasons ahead. My first turbo sled as well.
Good luck with your purchase.

Awesome thanks for the replies guys. Really looking forward to some boost this year.
I put one in towards the end of the season. It has been plug and play. Install wasn't bad. Clutching - I want to play with, but it runs good with supplied clutching. I really like tight trees and I'm not sure I'm sold. the NA sled lifts the front quicker. The turbo sled takes a bit and then really goes, but I"m off and on the throttle so much that I have missed riding the NA sled at times. Now in a steep little climb, the turbo is awesome!!
