Rumor has it that the production doo doos will have an ECU that delivers 20 HP LESS than the demos. This sled will need a turbo just to keep up with the lighter and more powerful sleds. Thats gonna be a pissaahhh for the doo guys :(

Starting get a bit derailed....

As far as turbos I imagine TSS, and Turbo Performance are also in the game. All the major players, might take half a season for someone to get one properly dialed but.

Did Impulse sort out what turbo they would be using going forward?

They've always used the GTX-R on the doo's. No idea if they will fall on the 2860 or 2863 with the extra 50cc's of displacement. I would guess the 60 will easily flow enough for 8 lbs of boost.

I guarantee boost will more than likely have a kit for this sled. And after seeing there doo's run last year I'm sure it will rip!!

Sorry forgot the whole name. Boost-it will be making a killer kit I'm sure.

Right on. I had heard that they could be having some troubles with turbo's being supplied for the kits .
Rumours probably!!

It will be interesting to see if this engine handles higher boost.
That will be the game changer, a light sled with big, reliable boost!!!
That was one of the things that really stood out to me.
It "LOOKS" like this engine might have been tailored for boost.

Question is.

Will SKI-DOO be offering it factory boosted in a season or two just like Yamaha did this year.

Would not surprise me one bit.
