I have a 2011 pro rmk with a boondockers turbo. What reeds would be good to run with this set up.
Reeds for a 2011 turbo pro rmk

We run stock or the stock type replacement reeds.
stock seems to hold up the best. You can double up the bottom as well. Or cut the bottom reed you double up with back about 1/4 of the way
I've used carbon tech stiff and boyesen, stock held up the longest with the turbo, and there seemed to be no benifit in the turbo application of the different reeds.
Cant get my turbo pro to run right.
Well its a 2011 pro with an boondocker turbo garret 2860 intercooled turbo and I cant get it to run good. I ended up putting a new motor in it and it still wont run right. ive messed with the fuel settings but nothing. It runs good at low rpms but I have to feather the throttle just to get the stock power. it ran good 1 time when it was 10°, foggy, and snowing at 8500' in cooke and that was the last time. I run 7# of boost and straight race fuel. I cant find anyone that will touch it. I do not want to stick anymore money then I have to. Ive been messing with it for 2 years. Anybody want to give it a shot.

Ive put a new ecm, all sorts of sensors, belt drive, 3" paddle, c3 belt drive, vents all over, ice age rails, and all sorts of different accessories that would have no affect on how it runs, but I don't want to start over because of what ive got stuck into it.
where is the sled now? Ive got the same sled.
Its in SW North Dakota. It was built in Sheridan. He did a great job. im just starting to think the sled is a lemon. He has built more and does a great job and treated me good. I just cant get it to run. It could be operator error.
I should say probably operator error
Try cranking the boost up or lowering your octane. At that altitude and boost numbers, you don't need that much octane... One possibility anyways

This thread has reeds in the title. We all know reeds are boring and there is nothing too exciting to read about on them.
So, I'd start a new thread asking for help in diagnosing your problem and I would guess with the knowledge of some on here, you will get it figured out for sure.

This really sounds like too much octane. I'd cut your race to pump ratio back to 50/50 and ween off the race until you start getting the DET sensor light. I've found with my boondocker pump gas set up on my Carl's 860 likes about 50/50 + or - dependent on boost. More boost = more octane. 7 lbs of boost is bordering on pump gas.
Stock reeds work best and are good for about 500 miles depending on boost. More boost equals shorter reed life.
Good luck

X2 on octane more than likely. Are you running race gas? Or calling AV 100LL race gas? If it's really race gas, what octane? Even running straight 100LL would be too much octane, and be almost impossible to tune, especially from day to day with different temps. Try the 50/50, and like stated, stock reeds will hold up better than the after markets.

It sounds like you are missing something simple, yet major with your kit and or sled setup/install/mechanicals. I would be checking for large boost leaks to start with, and clutch issues after that. When the stock components are all up to spec, and a turbo kit is installed and mechanically sound, these things run dang good even with extra octane. Even the littlest of mistakes, or minor part failures can cause huge runability issues on a turbo sled.
IMO I can not see the extra octane causing runnability issues to the degree you describe.

Agreed on the Octane
I have run my sled on 100 % , 50% and 33 % race fuel below that i would hit det at 7lbs. I use trick 114, MON 108 (Sunoco). Runs great at any of these mixes.
