I have a xlt600 with an aerocharger turbo, sled has been sitting for 3 years, the problems I'm having is that it seems like I'm using an excessive amount of throttle for the speed I'm going, the sled don't have much power at the moment, and it seems like when the sled has extra strain on it, such as going up a decent size hill or deep snow, the power just cuts right out, but not a bogging sound, could these problems occur if my clutch is messed up or carb is dirty/ out of tune
Sled problems (turbo sled)

If its been sitting for 3 years first thing id do is pull your carbs and clean the hell of out them.
I'm kinda wondering if some of the problem can have something to do with the clutching
Could be alot of track speed?

to add to this, I would also go through the clutches. Replace springs, and clean them up. I would consider replacing any fuel lines, and cleaning the power jets. You may also want to send your turbo off to get checked over. Its possible to get rust on the bearings in the turbo, if its not in a climate controlled enviroment.
Did the fuel sit in the sled? That all needs to be cleaned out, maybe a new fuel filter. Depending on where it sat and how much fuel was in the tank you may have a ton of condensation and varnish build up from the fuel.
It could be a bunch of things, it just needs a good clean up.
Thanks dude, another thing, went for a tear with it today, still not running great and hit some deep snow so I went to give it some more throttle and it just slipped and started revving without gaining speed, I'm thinking maybe the stock spring is getting weak from the extra power the turbo was kicking
replace the clutch springs. i have had this problem before.
The one in the primary or in the secondary too?
It's probably a good possibility that the sprigs coulda got wreaked from te extra power over stock
The turbo seems to be spooling good and all but I guess it could be a possibility
