i mean their smaller one with 10 lbs of boost, not their larger more powerful models. i know it has worked well with the Polaris but it was designed with help from Polaris. I notice the one they sell for skidoo they dont even call it the sidekick even though it is the same thing. just curious of anyone has installed one of these kits on a doo and if so how reliable was it?

I don't believe they've even sold a sidekick kit for the Doo yet. It is advertised, but I think any kit they've sold for the Doo were all pre sidekick kits so far. So long story short, no, I don't think anyone besides Boondocker has even seen a Sidekick kit yet.

I don't think they have any testing on one either. They are using the success of the Axys Sidekick to sell people 850 kits that have no zero testing done yet. I think this year is a really good year to take off from building a turbo. I'm not going to put a Turbo on either of my new 850's...

this appears to be exactly like the sidekick on their website. they are just not using the name, perhaps because of a conflict with POLARIS. dunno.

That kit has the tunable control box... The main point of the Sidekick is its plug and play fill up with 91 and go rip no worries no gauges no tuning

There's 4 kits on their website... GT,MTA, sidekick and sidekick x are for the 850 They told me probably late December before they are even released. I don't know if they will have them for xm....
