thanks die hard! slp did have a recall and fixed the pipe and can....well that's what they said . were u running the tuner with the slp set up ? did u ever hit det on long pulls ? or do u with the BMP/GGB?
just 2 pick your brain a little more have hade mixed feelings about turbos...how much do they shorten the life of the motor or do they at all ? I just don't know N-E-1 that hade 1 on their 2stroke never keep it for more than 1000-1200 miles .. ben very interested and intrigued by the sidekicks just don't want to kill all reliability. getting a sled out of the backcountry when she dies is never fun! keep it steep and deep and lets pray 4 snow(heard ppl are riding in summut havent took the drive 2 c)
No tuner on the SLP, did do the additional band clamp on the pipe to reduce the harmonics, but it still cracked. I did see they have an updated pipe with more weld and bracing where they crack around the egt probe. Mine would det due to over-rev with the SLP kit since I was clutched pretty light.
I ran the tuner with the BMP because they claimed more power in the mid range with their tune. What little time I got on the new BMP pipe and tune I will say it did feel more snappy in mid range with no real change between a SLP pipe and the BMP on top end performance.
Turbos on a 2 stroke in AK is still up for question for me. I have attempted to run two different silber turbo kits in AK with no real luck. I haven't personally seen one run well in AK, but AKFULLTHROTTLE is now a dealer of the new Axys Silber kits and claims they run flawless.
Me personally I am going to wait one more season then pull the trigger on a turbo again. Not sure if it will be Silber or another brand...
