Nah, gotta leave something for the aftermarket! Oh, how about reversible ice scratchers and a tether? Left those two off as well and they are both no brainers.
I agree, should be easy to pull that off and if they do it right it will be more useful than simply an altitude compensator.
Depends on your definition of more useful... an "altitude compensator" would do anyone over 8k more good than a 200hp big bore. And a 900 is not gonna make anywhere near 200hp.
These new turbos don't come out on a rope like they used to but big bores still do. Only had one buddy that had decent luck. It was an 1140. Everyone else blew up. If you had a big bore to match doo, at elevation, the warranty list would be a mile long. Their turbo has been pretty flawless. We will see on Polaris. I still think that's next year but maybe not.
I know some of you southern guys ride above 8000' but most of us Canadians don't. There is a lot of good ridings under 7000' and much of that as little as 5000'. And torque right from the bottom is nice with less weight and possibility better balance.
7 psi at 10 or 11 thousand feet would be just absolutely freaking awesome!!!!!Some patents Polaris filed, I know its been posted before. There is a lot to read and pick apart if you go through them all. Some cliff notes are reeds in the airbox,exhaust bypass, 2-3psi at low elevation, 7psi at high elevation.

Polaris has filed a number of patent applications related to turbocharged 2-stroke engine, which we would expect to see in an RMK before too long.www.snowmobile.com
Terry, what people know, what people think they know and what people wish for, can overlap or deviate quite a bit.
