Installation:
- Straight forward but could be updated with more and current pictures. (Esp. the electrical)
- Install is designed so the kit is completely removable. But there are some better ways to install. (eg. Cut 1.5" off of the coolant hose going to the head...this will simplify the install a lot)
- BD's instructions were better when I did my 09 Dragon.
- Otherwise a good install
Performance:
- I set it at 8-9psi at 2500' with 100LL and 74gr
- I ran this kit from 2500'-8000' (4-5' of powder in the trees and 2' of powder in the alpine)
- I did not have to change a single thing!! I tried to get the bottom end a little cleaner and could not notice the difference at all.
- There was definately more performance to be had but was very impressed at the fact that there need be no tuning changes! ( I could have turned the boost up in the higher elevations but did not have enough weight in the primary)
- On the trail up I checked at 5000, 5500, 6000 rpms and held the throttle at a constant for over 2 mins each and no lean spots at all.
- I tried a few long pulls in the alpine and pulled some 2000' climbs. I held it wide open and never feathered the throttle. The power never faded off nor did I hear any missing in the ignition and best of all it never seized.
Cons:
- The boost controller doesn't seem to effect the boost precisely...you just keep turning till there is a noticable change.
- The boost gauge is cheap...not even liquid filled so the needle is flopping around. Justin could have charged us all $50 more and put in a better gauge.
- I broke the bolts that hold the airbox to the intake boot.( I tightened then just a little past contact... oh well) And they are Grade 8 bolts. I'm going to talk to Justin but maybe a guy can rig up an exhaust spring in there instead. *** I rode another 35mi with the bolts broken at 8-9psi and never backed out of it. The airbox still stayed connected...FABULOUS***
- On my airbox the intake pipe could have been turned up a little more and then the tube from the turbo would have connected better as the turbo pipe was higher then the airbox intake.
- Some ratcheting after 60mi of boost....I might have stretched the track a little hahaha
Pros:
- No need to adjust the fuel box settings
- Consistent running
- More primary weight required for less boost... only compared it to BD
- So far doesn't seem to require an intercooler
- Great customer service-NO OTHER COMPANY WILL RESPOND TO YOUR EMAILS AT 2AM
The pro is the best stock sled that I have bought and Silber is the best turbo kit that I have bought and installed BAR NONE.
Thanks Justin
