Looking at those pics, it seems the coupler coming out was the result of the original chain failure, look at the gear it’s destroyed.

is there there only one brg on that coupler? If so what do they expect
Swap them out to Borg Warner HYVO chain and forged sprockets.. Check, Venom Products (Team)
Polaris started using low cost powdered metal sprockets before changing to belt drive also. Total cost cutting measure. The sprockets wear super fast since they are not forged.. super annoying. Change lube often if you run the PM sprockets.

is the lower gear on the 2023 turbo a "narrow splined " gear like the 850 trail sled or normal width in the splines?

It’s a narrow gear like the 21-22 mountain sleds .

Mine spit the chain out the top of the chaincase this weekend. Wrecked the case, cover and chain. Was in a bad spot so I roached another chain and gears to get it out dry. Mine has the old silent type chain and gears in it which is garbage and absolutely not up to the task of turbo power. I’ve checked tension every 2 rides, made it 650 miles.
It’s going to be a fight but BRP is gonna warranty it…ridiculous for the sled not to have the components that the fiche says it has. I would have changed them if I would have known they put garbage in it out of the crate. Bottom line, the sled was suppose to have Hyvo stuff in it, parts diagram says it has Hyvo in it. But it doesn’t. What a mess, will have wrong chain on wrong gears all over the place

It’s partly the chain but mostly the bottom gear is rocking from the 2 piece cupping system. You are honestly better to have the chain on the looser side from what I have seen. Every time the chain is tightened and the bottom gear moves under load it stretches the chain more and more until it breaks or jumps of the bottom gear and then wrecks everything.
I’ve warned guys of this but was pretty much laughed at .
Best fix 2022 drive shaft and hyvo gears and chain or better yet TKI belt drive. Tki has a fix for the coupler if anyone wants to fix the problem I think you can pre order now .
There’s no reason you have to adjust the chain every 2 rides . Evan them old pre hyvo chains my buddy has a 18 165 that’s had a sidekick turbo on it from new and has never **** a chain .

Anything with quick change shaft will eventually have the same problem none turbo will definitely be better

The Video here explains it well and looks to be a good fix for getting the gear runout to a decent spec

After my buddy blew his chain I asked local hillclimb racers and worked with the dealer. I was told that the new style adjustment “don’t have to pull pin” rattles loose and there is a second slot closer to the head of the adjustment screw that is permanent and requires pulling the pin again to readjust. His chain was tightened every other ride but the bolt backs itself out.

Does the lynx shredder re have this problem as well?
just ordered one and it looks from the vid that it can be installed without pulling the driveshaft which if that's true is prolly cheaper overall and less trouble than pulling the driveshaft, removing/replacing drivers, etc.
keep us updated on the difficulty of the install please. it's a shame we have to doo this. thank you
after watching that video and my own knowlelge, BRP done F@#ked up. I was wondering how long the quick change shaft was gonna last when I first read about it.
F
Maybe I’ll be listened too next time lol
normally i'd wait to see if this is a systemic problem but i opened my chaincase after one short day out (returned with 87% break in still left) and i was surprised by the amount of fine metal particles in the oil. don't know if that's the normal situation as the surfaces of the chain and gears "adapt" to one another or not but figured i'd play it safe and do this mod.
Wonder how it will be for warranty with the TKI fix it, should there still be a problem? Keeping in mind that adaptor insert will still be in the shaft.
