Silber charge tube

[bryceraisanen]

Almost done installing a fresh kit on a 2018 rmk 800. Wondering how much I can cut off the charge tube b4 I run into issues?

I've cut about 3" off the engine side and 1" off the turbo side. Fits ok now, but my clamp is a little cockeyed where it hooks to the lower charge tube.

Initially when I hooked it up to the lower charge tube, it stuck out past the turbo a full 3" and was tight up top against wiring, overstructure, and throttle cable. I was debating putting a splice in the middle and using a Fernco lol.

Any pics u have to show coolant/oil line routing would be great!

Hmmm I don't remember cutting any off of mine at all.. weird. I never thought of it but I probably could cut a 1/4 off and it wouldn't be so close to my side panel.. the part your pinky is touching, touches my side panel. I ripped out all my foam in the side panels and put that reflective tape on the inside. I can pull my panel off and it's cool to the touch. I also wrapped from the turbo down in copper exhaust wrap

Copper hi temp silicone and a new pipe / turbo donut.

Eliminate that future problem.

The new hose is stainless braided, where u have the foil tape.

My exhaust/turbo connection leaves a bit to be desired. For some reason the whole thing doesn't sit on the black bar and frame down low like it should (like the factory muffler). All of the weight is bearing on the belly pan rubber outlet flange. About a 1/4 inch gap between the hooks on the turbo/muffler and the support they're supposed to be sitting on.

Shouldn't it sit down inside the belly pan hole same as the factory muffler?

You can fix the pipe to turbo connection alignment by loosening all your V bands and twisting the bov and 90* elbow together. (I also added a spring to the tab to help keep it there) = triple sprung.

Mine sat above the belly pan like that when first installed but keeping it tight to the belly pan is the most crucial element of not getting powder bog.
(It settled in after the first ride)

I’m guessing it bent the belly pan down a little.

Where I'm pointing with my finger is where it touches side panel. Maybe your kit is different but I can't trim any silicone piping too twist the turbo back inside anymore to line up straight with the stock exhaust pipe. The piping is vertical on both ends so I'd have to take it out of the middle.

I sent the OP these pics of my Silber. The fit is very poor. I originally even sent my turbo back to them, at my expense, to fix but they just gave me the run-around and sent it back with no change. The clamps originally leaked a ton until reassembled.

The flange at the belly pan didn't come close to fitting correctly, so I had to Fab a stainless sheet and rivet it to the belly pan to pull the muffler into alignment. I also had to add a spring at the turbo intake to further pull things into alignment. Turbo runs great now, but only with TRS clutching. Silber clutching was very poor. Would have returned it, but didn't have time to deal with that.

Is it pretty much mandatory to use high temp sealant on the exhaust donuts? How about the one at the y pipe?

I replaced my blown out ones and added sealant.

Seemed easy enough.
