Project MLC [Mid-Life Crisis]

Losing it in Style

Published in the January 2011 Issue January 2011 Feature Ryan Harris

The Boondocker turbo uses the factory exhaust pipe and doesn't require any cutting or welding. The only cutting you'll do is a hole for the exhaust tunnel dump, which on the Pro RMK is in the right toe hold.

Anymore, running a turbo isn't about raw power. It's about making a sled capable of doing the kind of riding you want to do. We've already had seat time on Project Mid-Life Crisis and the rides have been in bottomless, heavy deep powder. We had three stock 800s plus the project sled and three guys spent the day digging sleds out repeatedly while the guy on the turbo was able to just ride all day long. You don't need to be an insane chute climber to own a turbo. It's just a way of making any good sled better.

The turbo should get us into enough trouble to satisfy the 40-something inner rebel we're all trying to suppress. But we need a few other things to make sure we get out of trouble. Things like front and rear bumpers from Skinz Protective Gear. An Air Frame seat from Skinz sheds a little weight and gave us a little room for storage, also installed at the Intermountain Snowmobile Show.
