Some of us don’t have 12lbs to lose? but who doesn’t love turbo noises
For the Expert G5's it is a 19lb difference between the stock NA & stock Turbo. I went with an NA and put a jaws pipe/silencer and float shocks on it. Powder Freak head is on the way too. Also removing the sway bar and it puts me at -30lbs less from a stock turbo. I know, its not anything close for comparison cause those can be put on a turbo as well. Been riding for 30+ years. I may some day get a turbo but I seem to get around just fine. Plus I only weigh 150lbs so the sled doesn't need to work to hard to get my skinny little @$$ up the hill.
Hummmmmm, it shows only 11 lbs difference on the MSO's from my N/A vs Turbo, same track length........ Then again, I don't give a crap cause the Turbo is so fun to ride and doesn't feel heavier!
I got a turbo this year coming from a 18. What a difference. It is truly amazing, having that instant track speed and extra power sure give me more confidence when dropping into steeper trees which I may have thought twice about before. I will not be going back to N/A
Sounds like turbo fun wins out

Today I swapped between a 2019 NA G4 165 and a 2023 Turbo expert G5 165....punching though 3-4' of awesome powder....both are great....the NA takes more finess to avoid stucks....it felt lighter/smoother to turn and manuver. The Turbo is an animal in the same terrain it easily provides more options in trees and will go just about anywhere. The new track feels like it bites much better when side hilling or down hill turn ups......the expert turbo felt more twitch but overall....gotta go with the Turbo expert.....and can have plenty of fun with the NA....and probably more stucks
It's a polaris. Not available.

I got spanked by a 2010 xp 800 in the back yard yesterday
I see. The problem isn’t with the skis at all! ?
