Boondocker ST w/ Water to Air Intercooler
Vohk Stage 2 Turbo Clutch, set for 8K-10K ft.
Tuning for 91 clear and 100LL mixed with 91 clear 50/50

This will be my first "mod sled". Really excited to see the difference vs. my traditional "add a can and call it a day" setup!

Thanks! Will definitely post pics as I get them while it’s being built. Other than the vents/shocks, she’ll look like a sleeper, at least until you pull the cord.

Appreciate the input. I definitely need to do more homework on the chain case vs. belt drive. I do know that they are doing a hardened top gear in it for now.

I like to wrench on things (car guy), but I sent it up there because: a) I work in SF during the week and don't have the time/patience to work on sleds over the weekend when I should be with the fam while I can b) I want the tuning to be absolutley dialed-in, and c) who doesn't want a Burandt built sled? lol

This is my first turbo and actually the first sled that I've ever purchased (snowchecked last year). I had ridden my dad's for years before the snow continuously sucked in UT and we got out of sled for a while. I finally got into a position to buy my own and now our family is getting back into it thanks to last year's amazing winter.
