Part of the problem with the Polaris Boost is the reed in the air box. It leaks, it can’t get up on boost quick or for that matter hold boost. When you chop the throttle it’s gone.
That’s why we built the replacement. It completely seals under a pound of boost.
Clutching plays a part here as well. If it’s lazy the engine/exhaust is slow to spool the turbo. The Polaris wastegate design works pretty well outside of it slows or stops the turbo from spinning. That turbo “catchup time” when you get back in the throttle under low boost is a factor as well.
A Garrett spins on forever, the stock turbo doesn’t.
Interesting, that explains why it felt so similar in responsiveness to the way i ride my silber setup, except that has arguably better clutching as far as the airbox goes. I was also thinking about that the other day, in the overall difference in the way the turbo performs down low. Still very happy with my matryx though, being able to run pump gas at 10hp less than my silber will be nice.

Glad to see we can still get some cheap (cost of membership) entertainment still, now that Chad had written SW off like a red headed stepchild. 🥳

They replaced mine and I’m pretty sure it was something to do with Small hairline cracks in the casting of the spider
There's more detail in one of the recall threads, but that sounds like the gist of it. I saw some pictures of broken clutches where it split at the hub too though. Either way, I hope it's not an ongoing issue, and Polaris keeps making the P-85 for a long time. Even if they manage to fix their China child P-22, it still doesn't outperform the P-85 - plus I see there's a billet spider with upgraded buttons and rollers available for the P-85. I'll probably try that on my sled next time I have a reason to take the clutch apart.

Ah, I bet Chilly's back sooner or later. I mean, how long do you think he can sit back and leave it to the poor, non-members to throw barbs around?

Haha love it! Glad to see good ol’ honest and “G-rated” responses👊🏻

As for P-22 vs p-85 wars, me like lots of other aren’t holding our breath, but very hopeful p22 woes are behind us. Shoot, who knows how many p-85 recall issues really arose, we all know it would too catch SW on fire a bit.

Chilly coming back. Well, his text back from him when I told him we missed him and it was too quiet here, was met with “F@&$ that place! 😳 so, I give it say 7 months😎

P-85 is still the most viable option (time and cost). Plenty of calibration knowledge and parts. Just have to get lucky and hope the one you get isn’t dimensionally OoT.
