Just added part 3.

I think my favorite part was the tuned pipe cracking on the dyno is what sparked the idea to have a external wastegate mounted on the tuned pipe. Sometimes a failure is also the answer.

Pretty cool they have been working on the idea of a production turbo for 15yrs to.

I remember when in Cooke each year we would see the Polaris reps riding prototype sleds.. usually they would let us take a ride on them with stipulation of no pictures and no taking to town.. we rode the Pro in 2010 before it came out. In 12 we had seen them and they kept referring one sled as having the "big" motor... never got to ride that one but they talked about it back then..

Took them 15 years?? Holy fauk!
The aftermarket has had stand alone’s that could have run a space shuttle at least 10years ago

The aftermarket does not have to worry about how loud its going to be or emission standards, engine warranty......

Winning Kings of Kings on a mostly stock Boost motor. Priceless.

@RMK-King any chance you could help me with something? I have raced under or ON a polaris in pro class RMSHA before and intend on doing that again one of these days, have a 22 boost coming in SOMEDAY???? lol felt like that orange teal color scheam was LITERALLY for me so it would be an insult not to get one. I don't check here as often as i should, but im looking for thermal photos or videos of sleds throughout various stages of heat cycling. NOT quite to the point of my profile pic.... P.s. never name your carbonfiber dragon Puff.... my email is GtiTowing@ the Google mail ya know? great read! Id apply to be one of those fancy brand ambassadors but TBH i love saying **** that is politically incorrect. Further more, i intend to later this season do some fuel econemy tests in yellowstone hopefully validating not only polaris's system, but that a turbo 2 stroke when operated under correct conditions can actually be more fuel efficient than those dirty loud *** croch rocket motors the blue guys use... ? Thermal pics of a boost in testing would be EVEN BETTER, if more media such as this exists. Please/thankyou, happy trails !

is this one of those penis jokes hidden in the image of a big rocket thrusting forth into "the great unknown" or are we all just playing "hard ball" these days? <- insert drum fill ? ?
