Looking at the actuator arm, it looked adjustable.
Maybe I'm wrong.
I understand the "no adjustment needed".
My Polaris 850 Sidekick is the same. They designed it to make the target HP at all elevations, hence the reason for not having to adjust to clutching etc when you are making elevation changes.
They are not designed to make a target boost number.
And a whole lot less POUNDS...Yamaha sidewinder with a more expensive 4s boosted engine, cost the same as a stock 850 non boosted doo. With the boosted doo at +3000$. That's a lot of margine I would say?
It's not that you need to turn down anything but you need to produce more boost and the turbo may not be designed for that.
Like the A.C.E. sleds except instead of the green learning key it will be a red expert key.
....a 4 year warranty would say a lot about BRP's confidence in this endeavor...
...seems to me if you are willing to be a Guinea pig and pay 18k, they should reward you with a longer warranty!

You must ride down low.
Weird flex but...ok...? Yeah, I guess I ride "down low". Dude I ride where I ride. I ride in the mountains that I live close to...like most of us. Here in Utah, most of the snow is found from about 8,000 feet up to about 11,000 feet. The elevations I ride are pretty much the exact target customer area for what Ski-Doo has released.
Apparently you live somewhere that the elevations are significantly higher? And I should therefore look up to you in all your glorious manliness? I'm really not sure if this is what you're saying? This is my best guess anyway?
I guess if you love getting up above the treeline on your 250 HP Yamaha turbo and ripping up chutes all day, then good on you. But if you don't recognize that the overall western market has become in the last 10 years something that is drastically different, then I can only guess that its because of just completely willful ignorance. Are you trying to suggest that Yamahas are still relevant in the west with their 2% market share, their 1 available model, and their pre-order only sale of that 1 model? Is this what you're trying to say? I really can't decipher exactly what you're trying to say. I didn't feel like I was being controversial at all to say that Yamaha is irrelevant in the west these days. Maybe you have an argument to make to the contrary?
Holy **** buddy I was joking. Hence the cute little laugh face. I ride in Utah also.

Speaking of the intake bypass there hasn't been many pics or info posted about that yet. Looks like the intake works just like a stock intake would until the exhaust gas spools the turbo creating boost, then the compressed air will push back on the spring loaded plunger valve sealing the air box feeding the engine pure boosted air. Let off the gas the plunger opens and lets atmospheric air back in giving you that instant N/A throttle response. Makes me wonder how well this setup would work on a aftermarket high psi kit.

And...
And a whole lot less POWER
Agreed
But in all honesty there were DAMN FEW occasions when I could use all 275hp on my Yammi. Ya it was fun, but only really useful for ballistic missile launches straight up the mountain.
your wrong it makes 165 up to 8,000 ft. You are loosing 40 hp at at 8,000 compared to sea level. So it adjusts boost to keep the sled making 165 hp after that say 10,000 ft it will probably make 155 hp which is still 40 hp more than a naturally aspirated 850 that's making 115 hp at 10,000 ft. It's not rocket science.
So what happens if a guy were to add hp to the motor? Say he added 15hp. Would the turbo system then maintain this higher baseline hp at altitude?
