turbo pro at low elavation

[flatland ftw]

hello i am from saskachewan and am looking at getting a turbo pro rmk. i ride mostly at 1500 to 2500 elavation (90 percent of the time) and in the mountains 10 percent of the time. I would like to buy a used turbo pro with either a boondocker or silber turbo on it. with the low boost blow of valve actuater. i only have access to 91 octane pumpgas. how would i be for reliabilty and longivity? and is there anything i can do other than higher octane fuel?

A low compression head and/or a timing retard mordule would help things. There are also a couple "octane booster" additives that some say help marginally.

Do some searching in this section, it has been covered before.

Have mine for sale with the standalone on it, ride high or low elevation its very fast.

how long will the engine last running 4 psi?

The typical setup will only "turn down" to 6 ish psi at your altitude. There is no simple answer to engine longevity. Could go 3000, could go 300, could go 3... and it depends on a lot of factors. I think it can all be done relatively reliably, but I personally would not be willing to try and get it done on pump gas. I am not saying it cant be done, but good fuel, and good throttle habits will go a long way IMO.

HELLO!

If you buy whatever kit, also consider to buy our standalone ECU plugin one to one replacement. we already have all mapping of turbo application and DO NOT WORRY ABOUT PUMP GAS.....you can safely run pump gas 91 at any elevation on up to 8 psi(safely) if you go to hign elevation 12 psi on pump also, just clutching need to be changed. if you can find a hm turbo pro second hand go for it, they are IMO the best kit on the snow right now....and by far.
