My riding buddy ran an aerocharger on his 13xm that was set up by felkers. He was basically pull and go all season. He was on a 50% race gas tune I believe. I don't think he ever messed with anything other than going to a wider belt to get lower engagement. I would recommend based on his experience.
2013/14 XM turbo kit options
- Thread starter deaner
- Start date
One guy had an boondocker on his 13 ski doo and the year before had a aerocharger on his 12 and said that the aero ran way better than the boondocker and aerocharger is easier to intall. But if you want a kit that will out run every one go with the tss new insta boost kit buy you will have to fork out a little more than the aerocharger kit runs. I have not seen the aerocharger snow to air kit yet though.
I would wait until a few more then just there R&D kits get out there to say that, at the end of the day, its still a standard sized turbo and w/a IC. They look to run darn good from the videos, but the MICKU bro's can ride hard and make em look especially impressive!
glad to see the ETEC market finally has some competition so people have choices and kit development gets pushed even more!
Well every silber kit i have seen has lag and doesnt have good power from it.. The price of a silber isnt worth it you can get a aerocharger for 650 $$$ more and twice as good. tss kit that was on a 12 etec i saw and talked to the guy ran like a champ no lag.
Aerocharger
I've installed several turbos
And my vote goes to Aerocharger
I've worked with Ski Doo, Aero and Felker
Easy install
Plugs into factory harness
Easy to clutch
AWESOME POWER
I am at every hillclimb and on a Skii Doo
There is nothing beating it
We use EZ RYDE skids and stock skid w/revalved shocks with success
I've also installed BD AND Silber with ok results

We have a XM with the Aero kit w/ snow to air in our group this year. I hope it works as clean as it looks.
How about some real high end stuff, 10 psi and up
garret 2871,2876 or Tial turbo 2871, ETC.. I'm running a Twisted RG 2871 @10 PSi on Avgas and interested in the same kind of performance but in a XM. with boost it box, or bullydog, or plug and ride ECU- no fuel box. type setup, wanting over 250 HP. who's got what????

I hope to get up to the flathead to visit some folks and go out for a demo ride, you should come out and see what they can do, the 154 on 7-8# of boost isnt gonna climb like your current setup, but i will be surprised if you want to get back on your M for anything but a big chute.
turbo
we will be running the full power performance etec turbo kit
this a pump gas set-up that will be 190 hp trail-290 hp race
if you were at hay days we were at the ice age performance booth with our brand new build
we will be trail riding it through the winter then racing it
justin has tested this for 2 years
this is the cleanest install i have seen ,all inside the panel
i will chime back as winter rolls along

From what Ive seen, a low boost XM is going to have the leg up on a boosted M even at 10-12lbs. The boondocker kit I rode was gross on the bottom end, but on top at 6-7lbs (even running pump gas I think I remember), it would absolutely destroy and M series on 10-12lbs. Heard this from alot of other people as well. I think Davidoff even said the same thing about the guys he rides with vs. his boosted cat. I remember reading him saying he had to run WAY more boost to be with/ahead of them.
I got '12 etec with TSS turbo kit with boost it box, 9pnds on straight 100ll fuel, 800km with 0 issues, slight bog off the line but pulls like a freight train! Would never buy a 4 stroke unless they weighed under 490pnds!
I ran snow to air all last winter works good hottest charge temp I saw was 102
we are real happy with our Boondocker turbo,easy to tune(I never touch it at an event) allows me to concentrate on suspension set-ups.Great throttle response. Hard to argue with second place,800 mod final at jackson. I love the electronic boost control(always clutched right)
You already know my thoughts Deaner, The TSS doo on 7lbs kicks the cats *** at 10lbs. The TSS water to air kit works awesome. You can't compare the bottom end on the 12 TSS kits to the 13's. Whatever doo did with their stock map, and whatever the micku's and Neil did with that boost it box, the combo is unreal. The water to air is the way to go if you want a sled to run as consistent as possible. Don't try and cheap out and do a "pump gas" sled, if you want HP you need better fuel,I ran Straight Av gas, it cost me 10-15$ more to ride per day and it was worth every penny.
Can you elaborate on what your saying here? My friend has a 12' Etec and got a TSS kit early last season (before snow) we struggled with cleaning up the bottom end and wasn't very responsive. Should he be getting his sled reflashed to the 13' stock map and sending his Boost-it box back for a new map???
If they can do that yes for sure! It is unreal the difference. Like I said, you can not even compare the two, the response is not even close. A buddy of mine has a 12 and I know what you mean on the bottom end. The 13's are not like that. I'd call TSS and ask about the remap and if it makes all the difference.

TSS 12 XP
I have the same sled and set up. TSS installed my kit in February and I had my ECM reflashed with the 13 map. I personally didn't notice much difference on the bottom end. This season I built a cold air snorkel (TSS built the main pipe) and I'm going to see if that helps. I was also considering contacting Boost-it to see
What, if any parameters could be changed to help improve the bottomed end.

Frenchy did the same thing with his 2012 intake. Not sure if he got a remap, but his bottom end didn't change much either, he runs way different numbers on the boost it box compared to all the 2013 TSS sleds. What are you using for reeds?
