Looking at buying a turbo...which one?

Shred Master · Mar 15, 2008

Hey, I have a 2008 polaris D7 with a 155 track and am looking at boosting it. Who has the best kit and would i need to convert it to a longer track or not. and how much hp should i expect from different kits. I live in B.C and go to whistler, revy, and crowsnest a fair bit.
input would be great. Thanx

I put one on a 08 D7 w/163 and the install went pretty smooth. I definately think that by doing it youself you will have a better understanding of what you will be working with. We went with the Boondocker kit for a few reasons: time to get the kit, reduced cost of repair, reduced down time if turbo goes down, and support. In the process of tuning and building the turbo, you will have a pile of questions you want answered quickly and Jerrod @ boondocker was always there to help us.

I think that I would try it on the 155 track and see what you think. You will have to make some suspension adjustments. Boondocker claims 220-280 hp with their kit with boost from 10psi-16psi.

Fuel gets a little pricey and word on the street is that BD is coming with a 6psi kit that will run on pump gas with no intercooler, also cheaper. Might be something to look at.

There is a common misconception that BD is synonymous with all things "auto" turbo and OVS is exclusive to the Hyper turbo only. Not true! While BD is only auto, the guys at OVS will build whatever style of kit fits your needs (with whatever turbo you want) and top it with a controller (the Pure Logic) that flat works.
I'm Jay-0 and I approve of this message!

i'm riiding a d7 163 with the boondocker kit and have to say it good. the first ride out i set the box with their #'s 10 68 weights and a full tank of 110, and my hands stayed clean all day long. it was also pulling all the shoots at barkerville with 12lbs of boost. the next ride i tryed 10 70 weights and a red blue sec. spring, in 2' of heavey fresh and 12lbs i was pulling 60 mph most anywhere. thiss weekend i'll try 10 74 weights and see what happens, maybe a little more boost in in the future?

Sweet deal i was thinking about a boondocker kit because my buddy has one on his 07 d7 and it just rips so i might get a bd kit since he hasent had any problems

Yes its true 6 to b lbs boost and run pump fuel, new kit from boondocker cost about 1000$ less and by the way go with the boondocker hands down!!

does the 6 psi kit be able to run with any higher amounts of boost

-does the 6 psi kit be able to run with any higher amounts of boost

Yes just have to mix some race or go full race.

OVS has the option of either. Get two Pure Logic control boxes with maps built in for 6 lbs. and 10-12lbs. you can switch around. A modified head can be used for 6 pounds up to about 10 pounds with reduced compression. After that you need the stock head back. Stock head can be used for low boost too, just requires a little work. I am speaking from no personal experience here, you need to call them. I run 100 % race gas all the time . Gives you lots of options and Garr and Travis are not only good guys, but know their stuff and are eager to help you figure out issues right away. i would never hesitate to buy anything they offer. I know they have CAT stuff dialed. Not sure with Polaris.

I am running an OVS kit on a 08 700 dragon 163". Few small issues at first that could have all been prevented if I had more experience with turbos. There is a learning curve, but it doesn't take too long to get through. Sled is running awesome now. It is an aerocharger kit. Very simple. Garretts might be capable of more HP but I like the simplicity of this OVS aero kit. Rode yesterday over 9000 feet, packin the ski's over the top of 500 yard long steep pulls. Travis if you read this: your new setup is far superior to the old one. 48/44 helix, red white spring, geared down to 19/42, 10-66 weights. Holding 8000 to 8100 RPM over 9000 feet. Gearing down gave the sled alot more bottom end. Thought about selling. Not anymore!!!

just a question...not stepping on any toes here just asking a question...having to have two seperate boxes to run different boost settings sounds like a pain...couldnt you just add more fuel in the boost setting...I know the BD box is not limited to boost in any application..

Changing the numbers on a BD box will always solve your tuning problems.... it is all you'll have to do ...ever. Promise
