Yup, I love when I hear a bunch of no ways and nevers...

This engine makes it more of a likely in my books.
Way cheaper for BRP to offer a big power option this way than design another engine to compete with Yamaha.

How about this thought....I bet BRP has an 850 turbo running around already. They like to test their stuff quite extensively.
Another likely for my books

My experience with Yamaha was that there were definately After market Turbo manufacturer's that got More Yamaha Corporate "LOVE" than others did...

I would guess that is the same with BRP, but I honestly don't know as I am the new kid on the BRP block right now.

You'll always have that happen with the "corporate love" no matter the OEM.

Silber

Silber seems to be coming out with a kit for the 850. Not sure on release date. As soon as we popped the panels off the new 850 first thing we wondered was is brp gunna do factory turbo soon? W the motor improvements and how it looks and sits in chassis it's possible!

I ran across this on Facebook the other day and was kind of shocked they had one out on the snow already.

Fueling

I am really...really curious to see what comes in the way of fuel/timing control. It would be really cool for the doo faithful if the "boost injectors" could handle 7lbs. That could be irrelevant if they cant get into the ECM.

LOOOOONG SUMMER!

That just lets you know they have a good relationship with BRP.
Not suprised they already have an 850 Aerocharger on the snow already, Calvin's dad owns Felker Motorsports in Loveland Co. and they pretty much have the Aerocharger dialed in on the 800 E-tec. Calvin was and still may be an Ambassador for BRP and I believe he works full time for Aerocharger now. I seen a pic of the 850/Aero floating around the web a few months ago.

I'm not trying to talk silber up at all but I'm going to bc of the quality they bring to the table and reliability which is what we all want. I have two silber sleds this year and put 800 hard miles on each... One at 7 lbs 163x3 and one at 5 lbs 163x2.6! I have changed 1 belt all year. My friend got 2600 miles with no more than basic up keep. No buttons or fooling around bolt it all on in 2 hours clutching is awesome and go! Change boost with a spring change. Flawless kits and they always kill everyone else's prices and service. Call Justin at silber they're the real deal

My two are on axys...my buddies on the XM 154" that got 2600-2800 miles. Never had one issue. Don't matter what you put a silber on it always runs great. This year he's doing the 850

Only speaking from experience.... All the silber kits I've been around or own rocked. Never seen one take away a day from my group. Can't wait to ride the 850 boosted

I've seen a Silber on a T3 174 and there was a terrible stumble from standstill that made tree riding impossible. Not impressed with Silber's performance in the E-TECs. Can't imagine it'll be better on the 850 but we will see.

For a few yrs you've been hearing the wives tale of a 2 stroke turbo coming oem from Brp, always the same story, same old wife telling it and again it wont happen.. EVER.

No way is BRP ever getting into bed with any aftermarket toy kit seller in any way. warranty and consistency make turbo charged 2 strokes a HOT ROD item. .
