I have heard that for running a sidekick at low altitudes you should have the tial upgrade, what's the reason for this? I ride as low as about 5000 ft. Do I need it?

Tial on a Sidekick?
- Thread starter Bauer112

I had a conversation with Erik Woog regarding the Sidekick at low elevation. He said Tial exhaust plus some other items would most likely be needed to guarantee that it would run well at low elevation and also in the mountains.
Now my low elevation is 1200' so it may be a bit more of an issue for tuning, than around 4000'-5000',but the price to make it run at low elevation and also 10,000'+ was going to be double that of a regular Sidekick kit. I decided to try out a Silber instead due to the fact that they live in low elevation and can easily tune here.
I would guess you may be very close to the elevation where the Tial is needed, I would call Vohk or Boondocker to verify.

To add to this, the Tial exhaust adds the external wastegate.
Louis Skebo from PowerModz has a Sidekick with the Tial on a '16 Pro.
He is running low altitude in the Ottawa area. On one of his recent broadcasts he mentioned that he was adding a low compression head this season. Possibly det issues? Not sure.
Here is a link to his Sidekick install video:
