The ad for the kit said “pull and go”. That always makes me laugh. I wonder how many are actually pull and go for a season of hard riding?. I’ve NEVER SEEN THAT. I’ve seen some great running turbo sleds but they sure seem to take a guy with experience with turbos and some mechanical ability to not cost days, weeks or even a season of riding. So many times guys screw up the install, run dif octane than recommended, have bad clutching or the actual stock components of the sled are broken and they think it has to be the turbo and on and on. At the elevations I mainly ride at stock or a big bore kit has been great. Both of my sleds this year will be stock except for shocks and maybe bumpers.

What elevation you ride at? Were usually at 8500-11000 so it will be nice to have 190hp instead of 120 on our 800s.

I can honestly say after installing my Silber kit on my 2016 axys it truly was a pull and go sled. I tried to run about 1/3 100ll premium mix and other then a a couple primary spring breaks and a intermittent throttle safety switch both of which are Polaris problems. I had three seasons of crisp trouble free turbo fun

This was my exact experience. It was truly a pull and go set up. Only thing I did was adjust boost and clutch weights. I also sent my ecu out for the latest flash from silber and they shipped it back on their dime within a cpl days. Which is why I snowchecked another silber for my 2019. I would recommend them to anyone looking

Are you guys buying your kits directly from Silber or going through a dealer and what’s the benefit of each route?

Anybody know of a dealer near Northern California?

If anybody had a silber re flash up to this point check to see if you have reverse! the new bar controls didn't make the map in 2019..

I'm waiting on my ECU right now for that very reason. Hopefully that's resolved sooner than later.
A bigger issue is the lack of delivery on snow check kits. Guys at snow shows are getting theirs and guys who pre season ordered are still waiting. Talk about messed up.

Is this all 19 arctic cats reflashed for silber turbo? Or just a handful? Is the reflash app done yet?

I dont have a secondary clutch tool but need to change out the spring. Anyone have recommendations on how to do that without the compression tool

All-thread and nuts and washers/bars with holes to keep it from flying apart. Quick little shop fab adventure and your good to go.

as far as I know all 19 flashed up to this point. the cord and app or ready and for sale on their site.

Talked to Justin at the salt lake snow show. Although the hardware is available , he said the app isn’t currently working and if you buy a kit you still need a dealer to flash your ECU.

BTW, my reverse works fine.
