turbo install, anything else while i'm in there?

Front bumper

Install B&M Fab front bumper !

You really should have no issues. Gap your plugs to a tight .020. A 155 will be on its tail a lot on the stock rear bumper will not protect the tunnel. A B&M Fab rear bumper will protect you tunnel during every track stand.

Keep the track TIGHT, even then at some point it will slip and then its hard to go back from there. Clip the non clipped windows to aid in this. But since it has zero miles the track will stretch so you may need to check on it while out riding for first few times and then still keep checking before every ride.

SLP torque arm.

The axys doesn't have a great alignment system to it and when you add boost it pulls the motor so far back that your clutching is inconsistent and generates a lot of heat. The torque arm helps keep it all in line and transfering power ideally.

I am not sure on that one, I also have not had a single issue on my 16 or seen any as well around me. With that said we do not haul sleds on covered. Mine are in the enclosed or on a sled deck with a cover.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Did Polaris seal the relays better for 2017?

nope, its all the same, they did add some tape and hang them different, but like AK mentioned, don't haul them around sucking up road grime.

I did do a handful of things when I put the turbo on... iceage rail stiffeners - avid drivers - slp toque arm - tether - fully clipped track - br9 eya plugs {not the es} gaped as stated above - full slp vent kit {intake breather and cowling heat eliminating kit} - striped all foam off the panels for better cooling {I did heat tape a few spots that were close to the pipe/turbo} - heat taped the lines that were talked about above - indy dans low elevation turbo kit {as stated above} -sealed the back of all relay plugs with black form-a-gasket and relay to plug with die-electric grease tanking care not to get any on the connectors! - the rest was just for looks\comfort sled wrap - under seat bag - orange led lights - 1 in off set ZRP spindles... oO0 and a driven clutch bearing and washer that ZRP sell's to prevent spring bind and promote quicker back shifting... probably missed something but that's the majority of it! lots of what I did was not necessary but if I did it again.... I would do it all again!!! I regret nothing I got { well I cheeped out on the iceage rail stiffeners I do wish I would have just bought the iceage rails that are stronger than stock but a@Aa the stiffeners are a fair product too} . lots of what I did was to try to ensure a long and trouble free sled that provides to much HP and not enough break downs to enjoy the scenery you get to see when your getting towed out!!! to each his own... just smack that turbo on and ride or try to do some preventive maintenance either way is up to you!!!! have a good year we have ben riding in alaska for 3 or 4 weeks now!!! oO0 ThE SnOw <!-- / message -->

I would absolutely dialectric grease all the connectors and relays. Gives you peace of mind and it only take 15 minutes for preventative maintenance item that could save you a lot of heartache.

all good ideas

i gotta second TETHER

I hade the same concern about venting the heat so I did not wait and find out if it was needed I just vented with the slp kit!


as for the die-electric grease don't put it on the connectors/pins it is not a conductor just a sealant to keep $h!t out {mainly water} their is a lot of talk of it in many posts and widely agreed upon that it is not made to conduct electricity as a matter of fact it does the opposite, not to say the pins wont scrape and touch but not made to put on the pins it can cause problems!!! avoid them and just try to fill the void in-between the plug housing and the relay..... or so I've ben told by people smarter than me

dielectric grease

dielectric grease is supposed to be applied to the pins
it transfers the heat out of the connection that is its
main purpose moisture is its secondary job

The extra intake venting works nice when its over the hood deep since we definately pushing the limits of the stock vent flow, especially when they are covered in POW.

Also generally extra venting is good IMO, stock sleds run to hot as is and add the extra power means more heat.

I thought it prudent to throw this statement out there; Di-electric grease is Non-Conductive, therefore an Insulator!
Using it as described above is okay on some types of connectors that have enough memory to retain their shape and push / scrape the grease out of the way where they actually are designed to contact.

If not? You essentially are floating the connector and making the issue you are attempting to fix worse. TPS connector being one prime example.

All connectors are not created equal and one should use some thought and good judgement as to where Di-electric grease is indeed suitable.

just 1 quick post that was easy to find. if you read BULLSH** POLARIS (ELECTRIC RELAYS IN HARNESS GO BAD FROM WATER INTRUSION) ( 1 2 3 ... Last Page) its a good place to start but lots more info on that subject if you just go looking..... not to say ewanaburner is wong {pun intended theirs only 1 wong}
