THE MOST MILEAGE ON A CAT TURBO
- Thread starter Jammmin
- Start date
2400 miles on our 09, that's after it being a race sled with Zollingers for a season (11-15 psi).
1800 on my 11, just pulled pistons & they were literally the cleanest, least worn pistons I've ever pulled from a sled (10-14 psi) and I drive at full boost as often as possible, riding on the last 5" of the track.
I know a guy with 9k on boost near us (approx 12-14psi), also Bparks has 11 or 12k on his M7 bottom end, not sure how many boosted (approx 14 psi)
I'm starting to rethink having sold our 09 due to "high miles"... seems kinda dumb now.

3200 boosted miles on 1200 engine never been out of the chassis till I rebuilt sled. Put a 1000 topend on it and stuck it into an 08 LE 1000 that had motor issues at 2400 miles unboosted. Put a crate motor in my sled build, riding the 08 stocker until we get some snow. One of my neighbours has over 5000 miles on his 2010 TM1000 and he just put a crate motor in just because. His engine had 2500 on boost, 2500 stock with pistons being replaced when turbo kit put on. His old engine is complete sitting on bench, still runable in my book. Another customer of mine with an 09 M8 that was boosted since new had over 4500 miles before I put pistons in last year and the old ones still looked fine.
06 M-7 has been boosted since 07.

Its crazy how in the old days, you would be replacing pistons multiple times per year, and now we can go all season or more.

If you are worried about the sled not holding up with the new turbo kit I would be willing to install it on my sled and try it out for you for the winter just to make sure that you don't have any issues to worry about....in fact I think that is what we will do....I'll call Kevin right now and let him know that is the plan....anything I can do to help you out

The turbo is running like awesome.
Never thought of it in miles about 1800liters of fuel. 6 barrels of race fuel rest premium. 3 years and no repairs or blowups.

I heard you had some "shrinkage issues" this year and it was more of a "ping-ping" noise....like BB's....lol
I've only got about 1250 miles boosted on mine, about 2300 total ... I did new pistons this year just because "I thought I should" and they still looked good when I pulled them .... *shrug* ... ah well otta be good for another couple seasons now
