Turbo gas mileage and weight

[JONESIE]

Hello everyone i am getting ready to purchase a new sled for myself and i am looking at either a rmk 800 or an assualt. I really like the 144-146 track size as the sled will mostly see flatland trails and the 1-3 trip out west a year.


My question is this what type of fuel mileage are turbo people getting?. I ride anywhere from 70-100 miles between fills and sometime a little more. I normally carry 5 gal. of gas on the tunnel as a back up. Can i get good gas mileage running a turbo(should mention the kit will be a boondockers pump gas kit). Also what kind of weight does a kit add to the sled?

If your rippin on it all day it will suck the fuel big time more power means more fuel.

I havent personally weighed the differnce on a before and after install, but its supposed to be 3-6lbs lighter then stock with turbo kit installed.

Fuel mileage and weight?

With the turbo on you will be having too much fun to worry about fuel mileage. And far as how much does it weigh, the turbo take care of the weight issues. It's not like before the turboe's when your trying to save a few pounds here and there and spend lots of money doing it. There is nothing that will slow it down other then your fear and abilities. Turbo it!
