Ok, my last inquiry didn't yield very good results. I should have read the other posts in this section first. I'm very serious about buying my first turbo kit for my 2012 std rmk. I've had a lot of different polaris sleds, bought my first new one in 2006, was the 600. Since I've had 7's and 8's, With different basic mods, but overall mostly stock machines. I'm now working closely with Oregon Trail Sports in Baker City in taking care of their demo sleds. So I have the opportunity to get on a bunch of the new factory machines. Last year I broke in a 2012, 800 Pro RMK 155, a 2012 600 Pro RMK 155, a 2012 T1100 ProRide CAT, and the 800 Std. RMK that I eventually bought at the end of the season. This year my original demo Pro RMK will be a 163 with the ICE AGE 9" kit and rails, Z-Broz on the skis, always a tether, possibly some venting and other small goodies, that will be available for anyone interested to take a turn on or purchase.
So on to my question, what turbo kit fits my ride style? I'd love for this thread to steer clear of the control box bashing nightmare. We ride from 3500' to 8500', boondocking, sidehilling, some drops, jumps, and hillclimbing, did i mention sidehilling? I'd be tempted to say that my sled spends as much time on one ski as it dose with both. I want to run 91 pump non eth. I usually put around 1500 miles on the snow each season. I do all my own top ends and have even replaced some outer crank bearings, water pump shaft seals ect. ect. I'm a manual machinist / mechanically inclined guy. So I'll be doing my own install (peace of mind). I like the idea of the intercooler with it's own coolant system, aka cooler air is better? Everything I've read and seen so far tells me that I want the stand alone ECU. I don't like messing with stuff on the ride, period. I want to be able to swap sleds with a riding buddy for half the day and not worry about him missing a warning sign. Sounds like with the data logging I can tweak on it monday through friday and ride it all day saturday and/ or sunday, and at least get by with it until monday again. I realize it may not be perfect right out of the box, I can live with that. but once it's dialed no more messing around?
I don't want to spend the money before I explore the options available, I've looked at a few outfits different websites but they seem pretty out of date. Maybe pm me some phone numbers, or list yours here so a guy like me can make his own educated choice as to which way to go?
