Not going to claim this is an end all be all situation, but A good friend of mine has a 1200 with a PL turbo that has NEVER run right. This sled has been to every turbo guy within 100+ miles and they've been in touch with pl more times than I could count, many of those times being told they had to buy something else each time.
#1I could never in good concience recommend PL for a turbo, but if you did... make sure you're close to someone who knows them very well. My friend has been through absolute hell and I've NEVER seen this sled run a whole day without an issue. Most guys I ride with here are boosted, and even the guys with old first gen 2 stroke sleds haven't had the issues he has.
Sorry to post such a negative post, but I've never seen a worse setup, and it's hard to see him go through this with no real assistance from PL aside from being told to buy more stuff each time.
Ha well if the sled has an rb3 and stalls all the time I can almost guarantee you the problem. Early airboxes broke and that intercooler in the front gets real heat soaked and kills performance. I broke one of my vents out once and the intercooler was covered in snow all day, was like a different sled. Im sure dave has the rbr thing figured out and the stalling thing should be rectified. Although I have seen some brand new sleds with the rapid race stall the exact same. I have had it happen to me hundreds of times. Recently installed the boost it on my 1200 and am really impressed with it. Two strokes are lighter but I bet my boosted 4 stroked will last a bit longer than your twoAnd you aren't ever going to have the torque of the 1200!

Two years nonstop having this thing in and out of numerous different shops... if it were as obvious as something that would be diagnosed from one non technical post... I'm even more disgusted with PL than before.
I've run turbo 2's... no way they'll last as long as a boosted 4, but the 4 stroke guys I run with wrench more than we have on our 11-14 psi sleds. I'm not a fan, but the two closest boosted 4 strokes absolutely suck, so they've put a bad taste in my mouth. One is a PL 1200, other is an Impulse Nytro. I really would love to ride a good running 1200 though... guessing it would be a blast!

when I've ridden it, it has died after about 5 seconds at wfo. If I recall it was an issue of letting off too fast last time I rode it, time before was something else.
