Boosted 146” 850 Freeride

[SLEDDR.]

Contemplating putting a turbo on my 146 freeride for my summer sled project. What other things need to be done to get the best performance out of the sled and onto the snow? Can you keep them cool with the shorter tunnel? 3” track? Shock/Skid package? Clutching? Belt drive?

looking for real world advice from people that have boosted or ridden boosted 146 850’s. Colorado Mountain riding.

thanks

I personally think thats the wrong sled for a turbo unless your stamina level is off the chart or your putting a longer track underneath it.
Same engine less cooler surface. It will definitely run hotter than a 175.

Lots of Stamina, at least that’s what the women say!!!

I already have boosted 165 running 10lbs. Going for that next level of fun. Will most likely not be the everyday sled unless it turns out better than expected.

What year? My 20 146 Freeride was the funnest thing I have ever owned. I have stuck longer tracked sleds in the trees leading them in, it will also pack a tailstander for an entire hill. Depends how you ride it. I checked another, not going to change a thing except lockout, skid, riser and can.

I love riding that 146. Did you have you 20 turboed? What skid and lockout did ya run?

No, no reason to turbo it here. Stock skid, Zbroz lockout. Pretty much full stiff on the compression after the oil breaks in.
