With a 4 year warranty. That makes a big difference to most.
Factory Polaris turbo ???

True for some but I still was not going to be a beta tester even with a 4 year warranty. Season is short for me so down time at the dealer is not something I want to deal with. Still on fence about getting a 2020 850.
That’s a lot of northern peso’s!
The intake idea was stolen from a dealer in northern Colorado that was putting aerocharger systems on. Most of there development came from this source but it's no longer available.
And I was one of them........While the 19 850 was good, I do wish I would have waited one year!
why wait i want it now. I have one with 600 mt miles will have a 21 sitting beside it next year.
Me too....
Why is that? Did the engine get changed/improved for 2020? I have a 2020 and it looks the same as my buddies ‘19.
Lots of internal changes to the crank bearings and oiling system.

So give or take options (shocks, track, pidd, etc), accessories, exact selling price, and if that price is BC or AB tax rate...that’s roughly the same price CDN as a 2020 pol 850 Snowcheck with a sidekick. No warranty on that route, but you also wind up with much more than 165hp. Just thought that was interesting.
Half of the units available in my area were sold within 48 hours...
My local dealer was allotted 14; sold 11 in less than 2 weeks and he told me price is 18.1k; I thought it would have been pushing 20k.
My local Polaris dealer had either a silber or boondocker turbo on an 800 last year, Polaris had them do it. Dealer said they put the same 4 turbos on the 800 last year, and between the dealer sled and these absolutely no issues. Said if you are going to turbo a sled they recommended only doing it to the 800 for now; and don't remember which turbo co. they said to use but will find out.
Local mechanic said he had been riding for many years and was kind of burnt out on sledding, turbo sled has put the fun in it again for him. Heck, he even bought the turbo sled after the season.
I'm almost positive dealer said if I snowchecked a sled, and they put on the turbo immediately; that it would still have the 4 year warranty. Will confirm this and what turbo they recommend in the next few days.
How can you blame doo for wanting to have the first factory turbo sled on the market with a 2020.5?!

There are cheaper ways to close the HP gap that will have less moving parts to break. Simply add a single pipe.
To compete at higher elevation Polaris should simply start with bigger engines. Revise bore and stroke on 840 adding 2 more variations of the awesome engine.
840cc 175HP
1040cc 195HP
1240cc 215HP
If you only operate the engine at 50% most of the day, you will get better fuel range, it will be quiet and it will last forever.
What is 1996 mod attack angle. Sounds cool
Ya, then you will see sleds on the side of the mountain on fire just like the turbo rzr's!
Don't get me wrong I have a turbo rzr, general and a 2020 pro but........

Theoretically it shouldn't have much if any impact on the motor itself. All the Ski-Doo turbo does is allow the motor to see constant atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi @ sea level) all the way up to 8000 Ft.
i.e. at 8000 ft elevation atmospheric pressure is probably around 11 psi, depending on ambient temperatures exc. The turbo charger compensates by building 3.7 lbs of boost so the motor itself still sees 14.7 psi of atmospheric pressure. As a result, it can still produce the 165 (sea level) HP rating. Fueling should essentially remain unchanged as well as clutching...?
Nothing is free so there are some slight losses, increased back pressure exc. but imo its pretty insignificant. The added parts and complexity is probably the highest risk in regards to reliability.
