CRFRed, I think you have a valid point but obviously you have never actually talked to Dave about his turbo kit. I have talked with him twice about his kit and I would buy this turbo from anyone regardless of their age as long as Dave backs this product, which I guarantee he will. Anyone who has ever bought a turbo before should know that $5000 for the full setup including clutching is very reasonable, not to mention if Daves kit works well which I have no doubt that it will, then I would pay twice that, which is what alot of cat and yamaha riders are spending for their setups. In fact I am on the list to get the full kit and install in a few weeks from Dave and if the turbo doesnt work well then I'm sure Dave will get to the bottom of the problem and get it fixed, because in my opinion after talking with Dave he is gonna be committed to good customer service and trying to correct any problems with his turbo kit, which I highly doubt there will be any.

Ok listen I am not saying anything that probably 8 out of 10 guys on this site arent actually thinking. The fact is 5000.00+ for a limited tested turbo and installed by a 19 year old.
I agree 100%. Mostly with the fact that the kit is unproven. I have no doubts that Dave is a solid guy that knows his stuff. But when you are making a mass produced kit and charging this kind of money for it, Id like to see a little more trouble-free seat time before buying one. The only demo video for this product is not good. A piece of the kit broke! Not that great of advertising IMHO. The problem has obviously been fixed, but I would like to see the full "corrected" setup have some decent miles on it before laying out that kind of cash.
And please.........do not take this as bashing at all. Just trying to offer some constructive criticism.
The funny thing is that no one has even asked about how many testing miles my kit has. One guy states that his "kit" that no one has seen and has over 2700 kilometers of testing with zero issues except for a reed problem and most are amazed. That's about 1600 miles. I had a bad part, I admit to that and didn't make any excuses. That's just the way it goes sometimes. Anyone who has built a project like this will admit to some issues that come up or they are just happy with sub standard results. What I am seeing is it's a USA vs Canada turbo XP beat down. I have always made the statement we will be traveling around for people to demo these before you buy. Bottom line is I have a kit out that has been severely tested and has gone through some changes and obstacles along the way to be where it is now and is available.

Anybody who believes that they can own a trouble free turbo is living in fantasy land. ALL turbo kits are HIGH maintanance which requires constant attention.
If your looking for trouble free keeeeep errrr stooooock.

I know I don't belong here...I kind of stumbled on this thread on the way to the cat section. But here's my .02. I'm glad to see the doo crowd starting to have mass produced turbo kits. Just from experience, there are going to be problems...with all the kits. If you think you can release a kit to the public and have no issues you're a fool. There are people that could break an anvil that are going to buy these kits. They will break and they will be back here complaining. It happens. If you aren't sure about what kit to buy, wait a year. The good kits will prove themselves and the bad kits will fail. The competition is good for everyone, the more players in the game the cheaper the price. The doo kits still seem a little high, you can get an efi race gas kit now for around $4,500-5,000 if you shop for it and they have a lot more electrical stuff with them. If it were me and i wanted a turboed XP I would wait and see what happens this season. Turbos are hard on sleds, not just the motor, it's everything. More stuff breaks. And the guy that said no turbo is trouble free is correct....you might want to buy a few sets of reeds when you buy the kit. It has taken boondocker several years to get where they are with EFI turbos and like it or not, most of the other EFI kit builders learned with or from them. It has taken 4 or 5 years to get the kits to where they are today. Good luck and I look forward to seeing these run in Cooke this year.
Wow. A post that is worth reading!! Instead of everyone trying to defend themselves by discrediting others, finally a good post!! There is a lot of truth here. I personally appreciate your comments.

well, come january 9/10 ill give everyone a detailed report of how dave, and hopefully jake's sleds run!!
its really cool that the DOO market is getting boost! and BigHoe, truer words havent ever been spoken on how some people can break stuff, its all about offering a solid kit that has all the parts to perform and the knowledge to make it run, whether those who own it actually take care of it to that level, well, thats a whole new story!
and OT, i know some people who go over there stock sled after every single ride and check every little detail out to make sure its ok, and some, like myself, who thrash thrash thrash, and fix things once they break, i try not to, but its how I am. so i would say trouble free is a very relative term, and most who are getting into the turbo world arent coming from never owning and dealing with sleds before, they know that mods require maintenance, its just part of the game. I see the term trouble free as you dont spend all day under the hood playing, you just have to keep an eye on things every time you go home 2x the power is like 5x the wear and tear on a chassis as it was just not built with the power in mind. riding a turbo sled is like accelerating your maintenance schedule 2-3x.
just some more blabbing from another poor soul waiting for snow.
hope the kits work out great dave.

Ski Doo'in, I will be at Cooke you can put money down on that
OT I have done 3 turbo installs and was privileged with the opportunity to get to help with a 1010 cat turbo that won the BIS.
To anyone concerned with my age, I fully understand. Not many 19 year olds are floating around that can deal with one of these kits. However, as Skidoo'in has been proving throughout the summer with his thread not all of us are helpless I offer a 100 percent money back satisfaction gaurantee, that is unmatched by anyone other than Gus Bohne himself.
Anyway, as I promised to Bohne I am out of this thread. Anyone interested in the R&D Custom Turbo Werx turbo kit please check out Daves new thread in the Skidoo section!!

Good questions with competent answers is what I strive to put out for you guys.
All the turbo systems on the market are GOOD systems that work without any more issue than any other HIGH end mod .
There are those nay sayers who follow threads like this one and antagonize just to see there screen name up on the internet TV..
They have no interest in purchasing one of these systems.
they do not currently operate one nor have they ever.
Follow the names of these individuals, they antagonize on many DIFFERENT threads relating to many many different topics ,, again just to see their name on the screen....
Do they have ALL of these different issues with all of these people, shops, mods, kits, fuels, oils, boots, seats , control boxs, n2o kits. etc etc......JEEESH !!! ?????
Too better serve the needs and legit questions that many of you have I strongly suggest those who want to better this site USE THE EDIT IGNORE LIST FUNCTION !>>>>>>
As you can see already, ot has changed his tag JUST to get some screen time as the serious folks had been IGNORING his assness and he was turning blue from holding his breath,, ADD CRFFRED to the ignore list and you remove all pointless, useless hecklers from the boards..
Good luck to all this coming season, Dave , Jake, the Bells and ALL others who provide good systems for the doo turbo guys..

Gus you and others on this site live in your own tiny bubble and often struggle with the truth. You shelter yourself by suggesting to everyone to IGNORE so you/they don't have to here the truth......Your kinda like the 19 year old on here that spouts off a 100 % percent money back warranty...NOW THAT A JOKE !!!!.....As for Skidoooin, If your buddy has to inspect and re-tighten every screw on his stocker from head to toe after every ride he just paranoid...And NO a stock sled does not require the attention of a mod turbo sleds.
Dave, here's a little advice be careful who you choose as your pitch man , they can run your buisness into the ground real fast without you knowing it. And good luck with your product.

CRFfred, Gus suffers from a bad case of "insecurity disorder ". I've experianced the same thing from Gus on this website on just what you wrote about above.
BACK TO THE AUTHORS QUESTION, He asked "which turbo kit for the XP"
Ty_911 go to Josh Kennedy's website TurboBoyz.net or contact Dave at R&D Turbo Werxs.......ARE THERE ANY OTHER LEGIT XP 2 STROKE TURBO BUILDERS THAT Ty_911 SHOULD CONTACT ???? POST WHO THEY ARE AND HOW THEY CAN BE CONTACTED BELOW.

Sounds like there is some serious jealousy going on. Been there, done that!!
Anybody that qustions the age of 19 really better take a look at themselves in a mirror. Some of us peeps (long time ago for me but I was there) at the age of 19 can do/have done a helluva alot more than the people questoning age have done in their whole life. While you're busy whining someone's too young, that person is off kicking A$$.
Just because you were a bumbling idiot at age of 19 doesn't mean Jake is. Just because you were incapable of reponsibility at the age of 19, doesn't mean Jake is. Just because you slept til 2:00 pm everday hungover, doesn't mean Jake does. Just because you were still living off your parents at the age of 19, waiting for your dope dealer to call you back, doesn't mean Jake is.
Sorry guys, but age doesn't mean sqwatt. I know what 99% of 19 year olds did/doo, however, there are some of us who actually accell before the rest of you.
I too fought that, "You're to young thing" when I was 19 in my endeavour and proved everyone wrong and kicked peoples AZZES who had been doing the same thing for 20-30 years. It usually takes about a year before the cry-babies shut up.
Do yourself a favor, wait until someone actually F's-Up before you talk $hit.
