Who’s turbo kit? I’m no turbo expert but I didn’t know you could place the turbo vertically instead of the normal horizontal way. Thought something to do with turbo lubrication.
You guys see this turbo kit. This kit is clean looking. The Innovation is pretty cool
It is a low pressure by-pass so the sled breaths atmospheric air until the charge box reaches atmospheric pressure and then the by-pass closes. It stops the turbo from restricting air flow to the motor on the bottom end.bypasses the system under vacuum for better throttle response it looks like.
You are correct. You can not normally mount an oiled turbo vertically unless you have figured out how to oil the top set of bearings. The center section of the turbo has been modified and the top set of bearing get oiled directly.The company is called Solid, they figured out a way to oil it vertically. They have a facebook page up. https://www.facebook.com/solidturbo/. Thats where i got the pictures
On their FB page they are saying ECU flash.Anyone know what fuel controller there useing
Nothing really new or “innovative”, just stuff used on other kits over the years. The reeds in the airbox trick was tried a number of years ago without a lot of success. A number of other turbo manufacturers including ovs and boondocker have mounted turbos vertically over the years. The bolt and spring idea to mount the pipe to the turbo was used on a lot of ovs and twisted kits back on the m-series. It’s a good looking kit, but kind of late coming to a game that’s almost over with every manufacturer with factory turbo sleds by this time next year.
Now a days everyone is plugging the drain port on turbo and supplying oil with the factory oil pump, Which is working well. This keeps the cavity full of oil all the time no matter the angle. I’d assume these guys are oiling this way too.
Nothing new? LOL, except it works. Unlike any of the other kits that are complete sh!t that has been put on the market previously.

They actually have proof it does so you should quit assuming. This kit destroys the doo boost for boost.Correct. The silver plug is on the left and the 90 degree oil feed is on the right side of the turbo; the feed is made from braided brake line. The black lines are coolant lines. Two strokes are not that hard on turbos since they are far away from the port and they don't get hot like four stroke turbo with a lot of back pressure. I am not surprised they are getting away with this given how robust turbos are today.
That reed setup is a weak point. They won't handle much boost without breaking and they will leak pressure since they are not a perfect seal. Nice try, but they need to use an electric bypass that is programmed to open under vacuum and is strong enough to seal under pressure.
The SC is to damn heavy though. The high elevation kits I've road worked well but just took the fun out of it with weight. Way more fun.From what I've been able to read.... Low boost application turbo system, 210hp at 900 FT elev with 5.8lbs boost. Still in Beta stages so looking for test guinea pigs. $6400USD puts it up there with SC damn near too.. Clean looking kit thou, thats for sure.
That’s funny looks like both factory turbo sleds have something very similar…. Looks like it works pretty well when Polaris pretty much copied their whole design… Solid’s kit was being tested years before Polaris had a vertical mounted turbo with reeds in the charge box.Nothing really new or “innovative”, just stuff used on other kits over the years.
