Easily 50 miles on a tank. I would say closer to 70+ on a stage 1 at 10 psi, Thanks Skyler 888-649-4609 ext 121

What do you consider high boost for the apex. I am running stage 2. I thought you guys were always against the BOV. What has made you change your mind? Do you see engine longetivity as a plus with the BOV or not really? Will it be less responsive with the BOV? I would like to hear your newfound reasons for using one after all these years of saying no way.
Yes stage 2 applications. Driveability is the reason we decided to go with a blow off valve. We had tested many bov that did not work like we wanted them to. We now have found a set up that works realy well. We also can control boost with our prologger with our bov. Same throttle response. It's alot easier to ride a sled down the trail going to the hill at 16psi than 20+psi. We are seeing better mpg and driveabilitly out of the machines. We are seeing 10-20 degrees coolant temps and 20-30 degree blower oil temps as well. If you have any questions please call me here at the shop 888-649-4609 ext 121, Thanks Skyler

Yes you can. You will need the boost prologger. If you need any more infor please contact me 888-649-4609 ext 121 , thanks skyler
In my experience, no.
I've run out of fuel in the 30's on a wide open powder day. With lots of groomed or packed trail you could do 50 miles. I've found the key with a s/c is to carry extra fuel no matter how short of a ride you have planned.

I have a MPI super charger on a 2005 vector...one of the first ones they sold. I live in the EAst and ride in Quebec and was on my own with clutching and tuning. I chose the 3 cylinder for lighter weight and fuel economy. Started out by properly breaking in the engine for 500 miles, then added the super charger. We trail ride 250 mile days so mpg was an issue. stock this sled got 17-19 mpg. We played around with boost and settled on 7 psi, which got us about 190 hp, nice for a trail sled. It made lots of torque right out of the whole so we put an AAEN four -pro clutch up front with Polaris weights and engaged the primary at 2400rpm, very low , but it hooks up nicely with out blowing the track up. We went with a team industries secondary because they are reliable and easy to adjust belt height, I dare anyone to line up against this sleeper in a drag race with a mach-z or anything stock, it simply hooks and leaves you sitting way behind quickly and you can ride it all day. If you are Joe Racer you could probably get the fuel mileage down to 11 mpg, but if you are riding 55 to 75 mph on the trails all day long you will get a solid 14 to 15 mpg...if you are grand dad going 40 mph I bet you would get 17mpg. Now as far as reliability....I have 8500 miles on this kit without 1 single issue....I am not kidding....simply amazing!!
