Just picked up a new '13 PC 800 ltd and heavily thinking about going turbo. I'm sticking with pumpgas. Looking at getting the Cutler stage 1. Any issues with these kits or any better ones out there? I don't mind wrenching but I'd rather ride than wrench.
2013 PC what turbo and why?

I don't think you could choose a better kit than Cutler. They build a great kit with knowledge and service to boot. I would highly recommend the stage II kit--9-10 lbs of boost is so much more fun than 6, and av gas is not that expensive.

I'm real interested to see how well the Silber kits do, my buddies pros run great and you can run pump or race! Silber is only 3500 which is a great price! I'm looking forward to riding my stage 2 cutler and will report back on how it runs
Cutler or Twisted
spend the xtra $$ for the xtra injectors. you won't be sorry

Got a cutler stage one on my 2010 800. 7 psi. Works great. My next will be proclimb with stage 2 and BOV. Silber turbos are journal bearing turbos. As a mechanic journal bearings work great in vehicles but under High oil pressure that climbs with rpm. Not sure how well they wud work on a sled. Just my 2 cents

Cutler uses a garret with journal bearings as well! And Silber uses a custom designed turbine impeller that is for 2 stroke applications, and I'm pretty sure Silber uses extra injectors at least on the pros they do!

I am putting in the Push kit. I will give an honest report once all tuned in and running. I'm not sponsored so you guys will know if it is all its hyped up to be. I am pretty confident it will work good. We will see.
I just rode Shain on Friday and saw his pro climb setup for the first time. We stopped to ride with him on our way to idaho. My buddy put a Twisted race gas kit on his 2010 M 8, and it screams just like mine has since 09.
The 2013 twisted pro climb kit is really cool. If you are anywhere near utah go to ogden and go ride with Shain. I bet he might let you throw a leg over his sled and let you try it.
Just be prepared to stay for a few days and go home with your sled fixed.

This thread has great timing. I am in the process of turboing a 2013 as well. I am leaning heavily towards the Boondocker Turbo? Why don't people recommend the BD kits more or at all on Snowest?
My buddy and I both run twisted kits. I have 1 on my 09 m1000 & my buddy has 1 on his 11 pro. They both make insane power. Shain is the real deal. We went down to ogden to ride with him & pick my buddies freshly turboed sled up from Shain. Long story short I left with a twisted kit on my M1000. Shain is a heck of a guy. Cant say enough positive things there. He let us ride his big bore twisted 800 M. Very nice. He also took me for a ride in his twisted RZR. The guy is crazy is all I will say there! Fun guy with outstanding turbo knowledge. No regrets.
to the OP if you are in alberta check out TSS in BC there cat turbos are rippin

Cutlers 2860 Garret turbo are ball bearing. Silber are journal bearing. A journal bearing turbo are similiar to bearings on a car engine crank shaft. A ball bearing turbo tends to spool 15% faster then a journal bearing turbo. so not sure who explained to you what a journal bearing turbo is and the up/down side to it is but u are wrong.
I talked to Brandon last week. No intercooler. For my riding style an intercooler is a must have.

Dude I know the difference between journal and ball bearing, I've been slapping boost to everything I've owned since I was young! I'm still not buying the fact that cutlers are ball bearing, I have a stage 2 on my sled and it spools just as fast as my buddies Silber pro. And if cutler was using ball bearing don't you think they would advertise the fact? All they list on the site is "Garret 2860 or 2871" not "Garret GT2860RS" which is the ball bearing version of the 2860 also known as the disco-potatoe. I could be wrong but until I see proof I can't believe it
I have a boondocker. I absolutely love it. Fit and finish is great, IMO the boondocker box is the best available now too. The ebc works great for keeping boost at low throttle levels and not over boosting. I think there is a reason all other turbos are compared to boondocker. I raced a cutler up a decent hill, maybe 1/4 mile in ip the other day. He has a 174 3" I have a 162 3". He was at 8.5 lbs I was at 7.4. He had me out of the hole by a sled length, I reeled him in and had about 4 lengths by the top. Btw gearing and clutching were very similar, but he does weigh about 40 lbs more
Is your sled a pump gas kit? What is the higest boost you have ever run it at? And what turbo do you have?
It has the aux injectors, so you can consider it race gas, intercooled and has the 2860 with internal waste gate. I may upgrade to tial this summer. Not sure yet. I have been running it between 6 and 8.5 lbs. I think I like 7.5 at elevation the best and have been adding about 2 gallons of 110
