Quick clip from the first day on my 2014 Silber XM
running 8lbs of boost in deep pow. Zero miles on the sled...2 miles from the lot. Plug and play...with an emphasize on PLAY!





Thanks to Boston Racing for help with the whole install and sweet pricing on the kit.


more details and pics to come

Thanks for sharing. How much boost? Fuel?

1. Do up your chin strap
2. Wear your tether

Yes, I'm the safety police

so I put a quick release on my new helmet strap and added a better clip to my tether. No more excuses!

Thanks for pointing out the obvious...I had turbo/powder blinders on.

Tell us about the turbo setup. What do you like? Where/what do you feel it's lacking?

My first turbo experience so I don't have much to compare too.

But it far exceeded my expectations. Super clean install especially using the kPa self lube turbo. I guess one thing it may be lacking is a boost controller? It is set at about 8lbs and that is where it will stay. But really that is what I was looking for. A Boost controller could could be added if you wanted to mess with it. But I was really looking for a kit that had the extra boost without the extra tinkering. I want to pull and go. And that is what has been delivered so far.

The kits include a manual boost controller. We put one of the self lube turbos on dizzles sled and it just happened to not have one.

Two questions ? 1- How do your shoulders feel after riding a turbo
2- Where is all that snow

Did I mention that I really don't know much about sleds/turbos other then they are FN awesome!

Which is exactly why I like this kit. I was told it would be dizzle proof
