Third year on my 15'. No problems at all runs great. I actually keep it turned down all the way 5psi most of the time. I figure less stress on the engine, and it goes anywhere I want. I do need to run a about a gallon of race fuel even that low or it will trip the detonation sensor. I do run 91 with ethanol, can't find preminum ethanol free.

Had one on my 14' XM and now on my 15' T3. Both systems worked flawless and literally don't have to touch anything. In my opinion the best of the best. Working so good on my T3 I'm have Big John from sled head racing throw an 860 in there to mix things up a bit as we speak. The 14' I sold to a guy in Montana is ripping it up quite often as I keep in touch with him and has had zero issues.

Okay that awesome. Someone said you had to mess with it a lot to keep it tuned in good. Is anyone running a fuel control or any other mod.

someone was already wrong about the tuning. The Impulse system has its own ecu to run the injectors and there is nothing you can do to tune the system as it does it all for you. Think of it as a closed loop system, it gets it readings from baro, map, tps sensors as well as the afr sensor. It runs crisp and always on target for the fueling. You will be very happy

Okay what elevation are you riding with the kit I am always in Cooke city at 8000- 10000 ft will it be spot on at that elevation? Is anyone running different reeds or just stock?

It will run perfect at that elevation, stock reeds are as good as any, just don't over Rev or u will chip them. Only adjustment a guy does is boost for fuel your running and your stock clickers to help with rpm

Cooke City is all we ride also, it always works perfect. I run TDR reeds as impulse recommended them over 6 psi

Bought it right from Paul at impulse. I installed both of mine, they are very easy installs.

They run great! Ride Cooke all the time run 5-10 pounds on stock reeds no problems. Was just up there the last two weekends pull and go. Ride with other turbo xms and im the only one not changing things. The other turbos run ok but always playing with something It seems like.
