And I see no reason to change Pistons at 1500 miles.
Time will tell but would say more than that.

My top end lasted 1700 miles. This is box stock only a pipe. Pistons looked good but rings were shot.

Did you get new pistons/rings under warranty?

Turbo it!
If you turbo your sled you won't regret it. I love the new axys but let's be honest it has a max potential. I've found it and many others have too. My reason wasn't to climb chutes it was so when I'm in the trees and deep stuff I can let off the gas a bit and not worry bout getting barried. With mine stock I got to keep it floored or it will get buried eventually. Don't get me wrong it out does all my groups sleds bc we all were on stockers w cans but now they don't stand a chance and they all got turbos coming too.

If you have to ask the affordability question then don't spend the money cause you really don't have it. Can you afford to replace a motor and a turbo at the same time? Next thing will be 5-7 lbs is not enough so you will need to start spending money on AV or race gas. Then you will need an aftermarket skid to keep the front end down. On and on it goes. I have a turbo and love it. They are a blast. Just don't put yourself in a bad financial position for your recreation.

I don't totally disagree but you don't "need" to turn it up past 5-7. That's still 40-70 horse!
Sleds break. With or without turbos. I've spent more money on sled stuff this year than any before but zero of my problems were turbo related. All first year axys platform related...
ymmv.

JJ. We are in agreement that you don't "need" to but the temptation is there. The thought of "one or two more lbs won't hurt" starts creeping into your head. Unless you make the proper adjustments, it will eventually cost you. I have had to do very little to my turbo but I maintain it and always run good fuel. Discipline, maintenance, good fuel, and knowing what your turbo is designed to handle is key. I guess my main point was to have your personal financial house in order before spending the cash on a turbo. If you are not sure your house is in order then take care of that first. You can put a turbo on at a later date.
It's not putting me in a bad situation. It's a matter of it would be more responsible to pay extra principle on a home mortgage. I work in an office with a stable, solid salary and good job security. I'm not worried about not being ABLE to make payments at the end of the month. Just to be clear. I just want talked in to treating myself to another 60 hp

You won't regret it. Do it.
I'm pretty much set on snowchecking a kit for next year. I'm going to contact silber in july. With any luck they will still have one of their demo kits laying around, but I doubt it. If not I'll snowcheck and have it on by the first snow!
Get with Corey (Boston Racing) when you are ready!
Well Corey finally put up with enough of my $hit that I pulled the trigger. I'm gonna wait till next week to send in my ECU though

Every time I go out on mine I am impressed! Just can not get over how clean it runs up every pull, side hill and tree run I throw at it!
