Sharing my experience to relieve headaches
Snowest Land,
Since there seems to be no one in the northwest who has a Boondocker kit on an Etec and can give a straight answer to their actual set up, I will share where i'm at to date, so someone out there can benefit from my experience. (actually what forum's are for).
Let's start with fueling. blah blah blah, there is so much misinformation i want to puke. Av Gas, Oh no Race Gas, 50% or is it 100%, too much octane, no not enough octane, oh my god!!. i am currently running 3 gallons of Av in my tank and yes i can only cram 10 Gallons total in there, with doing the dumb burp thing, so 30/70 Av,non ethanol gas at 6Lbs boost, no det ever (so far so good). I unload at 3000' and primarily ride 4500'-5000', If i go more boost, i will add more Av gas.
Found out the pop issue and guess what cured it. CLUTCHING. Apparently the clutching i got with the kit, just wasn't heavy enough. Put the low elevation kit in, even clicked to one and still Over reving. Apparently it doesn't like 8350 rpm. Revelation is that Turbo's like load. i broke down and did some research and found out Ibackshift has a Turbo Etec clutch kit. Came with the full set up and delivers as advertised, i actually feel i got what i paid for. This should come with every Etec boondocker turbo kit. it cleaned up the low to mid which i was not impressed with. If you take anything away from this, remember one word. Clutching. Junk the boondocker clutching and get the Ibackshift or some other equal kit. it's a game changer
So closing. My Setup after beating my head against a wall for half season
Boondocker non-intercooled kit w/Tial, GTX2860, 30%Av Gas, 6 lbs, Ibackshift Etec turbo clutch kit.
Hopefully this helps some fellow regular rider that just wants more smiles per miles
