Corey and Dave had a oiless turbo on Daves sled and it pulls like a clydsdale on steroids. Another thing that was interesting was when he shut off the sled you could here the turbo for 30-40 seconds after spinning like crazy. Only downfall was that turbo is expensive as chit.
The advantage this set up has over the Vipec (besides cost) is it uses the factor OEM architecture in the ECU. This aspect has been R&D by the manufacture or contractor to the hilt. All factory protection should be in place along with the ability to trouble shoot problems easily through the factory display or maybe even through the Bullydog (no codes just simple wording).
Do you know when the rom file out of the ecu was dissected if there is a possibility to set up extra tables for boost control and if there is a channel available in the ecu for it?
Hopefully this will be available to some of us small time tuner guys, I don't know what the licensing will be like though.

I played it on my computer and went about my business. Turned the sound up.
At one point, the sound came on 10 mins into it somewhere. I stopped playing it at that point because I heard only music and very litte sled sound.
Anxiously awaiting sound as well but major props to you guys for getting on the leading edge. Sounds like this might be the ticket. Maybe we can finally convince people that sea level turbos can be reliable when tuned correctly...maybe we need to get one on the 2014 Assault I just 'checked for the shop
Lets try this one. We are purposely driving at steady throttle position so you can see it has the drivability of a stock sled. This also has a good explanation. You also get a glimpse at the 2014 kit.
Justin and the crew have been very hard at work and all the Silber customers get to reap the benefits!
There are too many factors to provide that kind of warranty. We have had a dozen folks with fuel pumps go out over the last few years not to mention stock sleds burn down. Throw that in with folks who run too much boost for the octane they are running there is no way we can warranty them like that.
Sorry my question upset you but if your taking the tuning out of the consumers hands I think its a legit one. Thanks for the answer Boston racing, understood.
I remember you and Justin coming out strong, and saying the possible blocking of the exhaust flow didnt do anything bad on the older kits, that it didnt cause back pressure? Then why change the design?
There wasn't an issue the way it was. We got feedback from people that wanted to see a divorced downpipe so we gave them the most flowing exhaust possible. Changes are not alway driven by necessity but by giving the customer what they want.
