I did some searching on here and most of the infop is from a while back. What is the general consenses for turbo reeds? The stock ones just won't last long enough for me and would be a pain to change on the trail on a Pro.
Turbo reeds?

Stock last longer than any others in my opinion

6-700 miles at 10-14 lbs.
700 mi. is not bad at those boost levels. We have reeds in stock, $60.00/set

Yup. was just wondering if any advancments have been made to help them last longer?
I think one of my cages has a little damage at the rubber tip so I might have to get a new cage for it.

Have you doubled any of them up?
No I haven't. What is thedownside of doing that? I would think that response would suffer.
You don't double them all up. Im sure if you look at the damaged reeds, its the same ones every time. Havnt noticed any diff in response and they last. This year I am running Water 2 Air and only 8lbs so that helps aswell. Is the sled intercooled? Big boost no intercooler long pulls = big intake temps and burnt reeds. IMO
No it has broken different reeds at diff times. This time it split one in half. Yup usually 10 lbs but alot of 12-14 lbs this round intercooled but not water air.
Im with TurboMatt as well. Id like to try the reeds from the sled-shop but hesitant to. I run stock with bottom reeds doubled up right now and they will last all season. I replace them in the summer so I don't have to screw with them in the middle of a riding season. Hate to try something new for it not to last.
As far as doubling them up I don't really notice much of a difference on throttle response. Now I don't use full reeds on the bottom. I cut them down about 1/4"

Stock reeds it is and Ill double them up top and bottom butcut them back a little. So you cut 1/4" off from the tips?
I'm very curious how the ones from the-sled-shop work. You should buy them and report back about them.
Just messing with you(Although I am curious about them because I haven't heard about them until 2 weeks ago. Price seems good if they last as good as stockers.)
Running them in a T-PRO and a T-Dragon this year and so far they are working great. Haven't run them to failure yet so I can't comment on how long they will last. I can say they have lasted longer than another aftermarket brand that I won't name. It is definately better than spending $200.00 a set.
Mine is a BD kit and I run a little oil in my fuel. My prob is I like lots of boost so less then ten is boring. Tried 8 last weekend. lasted about 5 miles and back to 12 it was.
I run 12 on my BD as well. And yes just cut a 1/4" off the tip
