As a former td8 owner I am in love with turbos. In one of the above post someone mentioned that thier t1200 weighed in at 479 no fuel. That is just a lil bit heavier than my td8 was. Our normal riding crew has many 800 turbos ( pro climb, pro rmk, multiple dragons and an m8) which all run great but I gotta say a t1200 is my dream sled! I will own one some day!
Looks nice Dave. Question of curiousity..are you runing a water cooled air box Does that allow you to bring charge temps down enough to delete the intercooler?

Renegade X 1200
I'm looking at building a 1200 Turbo. I'm considering buying a Renegade 1200. What do I have to do to fit a 2.5 or 3" track under this thing. Is there enough clearance? Do I have to get a longer chaincase? My plan is to long-track it with a skid for the first season. Then Turbo the sled over the summer. Thanks, Ben.

Just install 7tooth 3" pitch drivers and the 3" goes on!
My first 3" blew apart but the second one is just fine so the problem was with the track not the drivers being too small.
I have never rode on one but from what I have read the best bang for the buck skid is going to be the new K-Mod.
High end shocks set up for your specs, adjustable rear arm stop to go from play to climb in no time.

That wont be much fun riding a heavy long tracked four stroke with a 130ish hp. I would turbo it first and at least just put a stocker long track suspension in it can pick those up for nothing.

I would agree. Ran mine for a year with a 2" on it and at altitude it needed more hamsters in the cage. Didn't have 800 power up top. Different story with boost. You really have to gear the machine down stock to go anywhere...I was down to a 49t bottom gear and had to homebrew some clutching to make it go anywhere.
2.5" will fit with the stock drivers/chain case, but it's as far as you can go and there still isn't alot of clearance in the front with the 2.5".
I'm hunting for a good low mileage 1200 right now and they are hard to come by. Most seem to be asking the same price for a used as a new machine. Avoid the 09's if you are starting a new build. There isn't any big issues with them, but there were some piece that were updated in 10/11 such as the water pump gear, oil cooler, and valve cover.
Thanks
Thanks for all the input. I'm gonna shop around for a 1200.

I have been looking into buying a 1200, I am now riding a Nytro 180turbo. The nytro is a bulletproof sled with the 180 kit but I cant keep up with the XP and the Polaris when it get tight. (And it is not just the rider). But I have been reading that the 1200 got a heavy nose, is that compare to the XP or Nytro? I have not had the chanse to ride a 1200 yet.

I had an '05 RT1000 162 for a few years and then traded for a 800xp. I would trade even up to go back to my RT 1000. I will be the first to admit that it was a "school bus" but one you learned how to use the sled to maneuver I could run in the trees with the 144s and 153s.

I like the fact that the heat is away from the gas tank with this powderlite kit!! How loud are they? WE NEED MORE VIDS:face-icon-small-hap thanks
Wally's ultimate
As of the 10th. of Oct. the Ultimate Ski-Doo is now Wally's Ultimate. I have had two turbo Apexs, they are fun, but if you really want Torque, the 1200
is the way to go.:face-icon-small-win

I've been running mine turboed since 2010
excellent sled - plenty of power and reliable
It's always the trailbreaker in the mountians or trees when it snows a few feet - putting down first tracks
If not for this sled we would not be able to get to a lot of good riding spots.
