I have 800 something miles on my 2021 165 Expert Turbo. No reliability issues, no belts, no plugs. Just gas and oil. Hold it pinned to the bars as long as you want, no heating issues. Such as melted panels, or other hood components, like aftermarket stuff. Nor has anyone in the group I ride with had any issues with theirs. Total of about 6-7 guys all bought one. All are very pleased, keeping theirs or ordering another for next year. We ride between 7,000 and 10,500 ish. The Turbo flat works.
The only deal we have all experienced, though rare. Is a powder bog, due to clogged air intake from 3ft of Pow on the screens and the exhaust buried deep in the snow while riding slow in deep Pow. Most a down hill right hand turn.
As soon as you wipe off part of one intake, bang back to normal. Once moving and able to build some boost, you can chop the throttle and all the snow blasts back off the intake screens.
I know several people that have had or still have Silber, Boondocker stuff. They have all switched to the Skidoo Factory turbo or have one ordered for next year. Due to how much better “over all” the Skidoo factory Turbo runs and operates. Sure the aftermarket produces more power than a stock turbo. But the stock one currently, can not be beaten for smooth, crisp, power everywhere. No bogs, misses, rough idle, need to baby it after a 30 sec pull etc.
Over all everyone I know that owns one or has rode one is pleased. Definitely a winner. Worth buying for sure.
The new Polaris Boost is intriguing, but unless you had prior knowledge that the available units were going to be extremely limited and had your dealer put you on a list 3 months ago. You won’t get one.
