That sled has a Boondocker Agility kit... so something to do with that I assume?

This air intake Polaris.
lord no on that intake. similar to doo's..bad in brush. current intake is bullet proof.
I believe that one goes over the factory screen, so IF you get a tear, you wont ingest anything.
You can see the hoses, pump and filler cap. I think it is for the intercooler.
The doo is susceptible to branches but it does not bog in powder. They do have a heavier duty version. Arctic cat is a joke in deep snow. I think boondockers vents are a stellar idea.
Yes if they are added on top. I thought the stockers were removed..
Boondocker instructions say removing the factory vents is optional. But, I think most people do remove them for added airflow.
If they add vents, something like the SLP High Flows would be cool - these work well in turbo applications and are more protected.

High Flow™ Intake Kit for 600/800 Axys Chassis
This attractive High Flow™ Intake kit provides 57% more air intake surface area for better airflow to the engine and less chance of plugging in deep snow. To further enhance the shedding of snow and ice, these intake vents utilize a new polymer plastic..

I have the stock intake and fire and ice full intake. (Basically slp intakes plus 2 more) and they still plug up under boost.
It’s just a math problem.
Not enough surface area and the oem pre filter material gets ice buildup.
This prompted me to add the BD intake over the top.
That little box looks like a humidifier for weed.
Is a factory Polaris 850 Turbo with a factory backed 4 year warranty to far away????

I can't possibly imagine Polaris is ready to put that out this year. They seem to have their fair share of problems with an NA 850. Can you even imagine the warranty backorders if they slapped a turbo on there?
I would say a better bet for them is to keep with the motto. Make it light, make it simple, make it work. So the next chassis somehow trims 2" off the width and loses another 20-25 pounds. That seems like a lot more realistic of a goal for Polaris as well as giving them a differentiator. They would have the light sled while ski doo would have the powerful sled.

That would be nice!
How about deleting the headlight pod and making a storage compartment that will actually hold a pair of goggles and defrost (possibly my next project).
Cost! New doo turbo is over $20k cdn Khaos is $17+... overpriced ... Guess some are willing to spend that much but not I ...will wait till someone is in over their head and has a fire sale ....

Or they could just add boost to a 2016+ axys 800 and keep stepping all over the “game changing turbo 850 g4 circa 1994 suspension tech?”
I think you’re over valuing “added power” in the equation of sled performance.
The g4 Turbo will still need all the $$$$ put into handling improvements to be a viable alternative.
TMO delete,
15” track
Gripper ski’s
Torsion spring delete
Tall spindles
And all these things are to make it handle “axys like”
Just another word for “not as good of handling”
I think it's safe to say that your view from Alaska as a guy who is very competent at working on snowmobiles and doesn't care much for warranty or factory engineering is a lot different from my view from Utah as a guy who doesn't turn his own wrenches and puts a lot of value in warranty and factory engineering. There are a lot of guys out there who see the world through your lens. But there are also a lot of guys out there who see the world through my lens.
I also understand that Polaris still has the edge on handling, and that some guys feel the need to do the mods you mentioned above in order to try to close that gap. However, I wouldn't personally put any of those mods as "an absolute must". Even straight out of the box, the doo still feels pretty good, even if not quite as good as the Polaris.
Fair point.
I have a couple buddies who are explicitly not wrench turners who run silber boosted axys 800’s. (Installed by local dealers 5 psi) and they just ride them.
215hp is a big jump from 165.
Definitely colors my view of adding less hp.
That would be my choice.
Yes, it's the oil tank/oil pump set up for the BD Turbos (at least for Polaris sleds, don't know about the other sled brands). They went that route due to the sled's oil pump over oils the turbo. If I remember right, it cycles every 20 or 30 seconds to pump oil to the turbo.
