Stacking reed pedals

I don't know if its necessary. All a know if after 400 miles mine stock reeds started to crack so i got TDR reeds from mountain magic and cut my stock ones and stacked them behind the tdr. I now have 1200 miles and no problems and i was running 10 to 14 lbs of boost

any boost is tough on reeds and the higher you go, the more prone to failure.
stack m1000 reeds on your stockers , and that will usually last you a while.
worked well for me, i was blowing out the stock reeds pretty regular at 10 lbs

where do you cut them?
I've ordered complete m1000 reeds, and was told this was bolt on my M8? Is it the same bolt pattern on the flange against the motor on M8 and M1000?

Yeah I would also like to know what you guys mean by cutting them. It makes sense what bell is saying about cutting the reed so don't lose so much throttle response but stil gain some strength. If sombody could fill me in exactly where to cut them that would be great. A pic would be even better. Thanks

I accually found that if you just stack them and dont cut them it works better.
Has anyone tried the Boyesen turbo reeds ? I was on their web site and it says they have reeds for the turbo sleds, no info listed though, it just said to call them.
.Correctumundo!!
cuting them back does not give better response UNLESS you are already very lean down low or in the transition.
On the doo's I end up dropping pilots jet sizes by 20 when doubled up vs stock .

Good to see that Boyesen is listing their turbo setup. I got a set from them at end of season to try out but they didn't get them out before we lost all snow. Nice looking setup with complete rad valve assembly. Uses dual stage with fiberglass first stage and carbon fiber second stage. The carbon ones are much thicker than what v-force uses and look like they will stand up better than glass ones. BTW the TDR reeds are no better (not saying they are worse either) than stock M1000 reeds. Stacking old chipped ones on top of new does work though. Using 1000 reeds on M8 works great and is something I do on all M8 turbos I install. So far no failures of those on an M8 on the ones we did here.
When you say using m1000 reeds, do you use the complete reed assembly for an m1000 on the m8, or only the fiberglass parts?
