nice! are you putting new boards on and painting the tunnel? i put vinyl wrap on my tunnel. looks pretty good. keep us updated!
I will be making my own boards like I did for my dragon last year, and then just polishing the tunnel. I will be painting the plastics on the sled. I will post everything as I go.
Thanks

You bet all aluminum, it's just an extrusion then it has to be machined. I wish they made raw stock like that.

Had a couple minutes tonight, in between getting everyone setup tomorrow for sled deck production, so I thought I would build my BOV saddle, still need to polish it, but got it finished.
Because the tubes from Turboyz are chromed I didn't want to weld a tube off of it and wreck the finish. So I ended up making an aluminum saddle and then used high temp silicon and high shear stainless rivets to attach the BOV to the charge tube.
We will carry on tomorrow!
Thanks

geeze, i think you should get into making some like that for the ski doo's those are kick ***, for sure snow problems be gone, even the aftermarket ones you buy arent built like that, nice round tubing put close together like that means no snow, and great grip and traction, and i bet alot stronger than the other aftermarket ones

I had quite a lot of interest when I built them for the dragon as well. I will tell you they are an awesome board they keep all the snow off. They are a bit heavier then other boards on the market (4lbs each) but when out in use they end up being lighter without the snow build up, and they are substantially stronger then stock.
We get a lot of inquiries from our sled deck customers and others that see our builds to build them sled parts, and we have built some custom parts for customers (mostly for our good sled deck customers) maybe one day we will get serious about building parts for customers but if we are going to we would do it properly and get feedback from customers, 3d model it, proper drawings, proper extrusions and materials etc... In short we would ensure the highest quality.
Thanks for the compliment and input.

I have enjoyed following your build. When all its said and done, if you dont mind me asking,how much do you think you will be in to the turbo portion? more interseted in a ball park figure on parts, I know alot of man hours are involved but thats what can be some of the fun. I am really wanting to turbo my xp just gotta get it started!!

Thanks I enjoy posting!
I bought my turbo system used, so if you can find a used one you are going to save a whack. If you buy a new system you are anywhere from $5-6500 and that will give you pretty much everything for the Turbo portion.
Thanks
Jeff
Cool thanks. I didnt catch tha part where you said you picked up a used kit. Guess i should have read all the posts!! I am trying to find a used kit just not as common as some of the other makes of sleds if ya know what i mean. I have a guy i work with that can help me fabricate most everthing i need and a riding buddy with xp turbo knowledge if i have to go the route of buiding my own from scratch. Cant wait to hear how it works out for you. Keep all the info and pics coming.
Not to hijack this thread but.......Any one know of any used xp kits? I know Turbo Performance has/had one in the swapmeet. Just waiting for Bryce to reply.

Turboboyz!
I bought most of my Turbo parts from Turboboyz, infact the Aero 66 I have on my '04 REV was a used unit from Bryce that was taken off an XP. I love my Turbo, I also love the service I get from Bryce! Thanks again. Your Turbo's gonna rock Jeff, good work.

Hey Guys
I have a QR2 helix with a black/purple spring, can you tell me if this is going to work for my turbo application?
Thanks

Made a bit more progress today. Got all the signal lines ran. I ended up removing the plastic portion that holds the clutch cover on and that also holds the coil on. It made the charge tube fit much nicer, so then I relocated the coil using rubber standoffs and also welded on a tab to mount the regulator. I got the the charge tube mocked in place along with the BOV valve and ran the signal wire for that as well. Everything is fitting up pretty darn good. As soon as I get some direction on clutching I can pretty much button this end of the build up, then move onto other things.
Question:
I bought a boost controller with the T fitting, I understand how to hook it up I am just trying to get my head around how it works.
I hook up the little tee to from the airbox to the turbo fitting, then I hook the other T to the controller. I understand that there is a spring and ball bearing in the Tee. I also understand the principle of the manual controller, it fools the "waste gate" into creating more boost, by limiting the airflow in the signal hose.
My questions is how does the turbo pick up signal and determine to open the valve and slow down.
Is the turbo always drawing a signal from the Tee so if I have the boost controller closed right off it will then try and pull the ball bearing and spring forward forcing the turbo to open the valve thus reaching it's max boost. So if I wanted it to create more boost I would have to stiffen the Tee spring. Lets say the boost spring in the Tee is set for 15psi and I am happy running 10 psi, would I then just open the boost controller and have it draw in a bit of atmospheric air, or should that boost controller be plumbed into the airbox as well.
Maybe I have it all wrong, be great if someone could clarify that for me?
Thanks
Jeff

Ok made some decent progress tonight, not a bunch visually, but a bunch of the little loose ends.
- Got the return fuel line ran to the tank with the fitting installed
- Got the fuel pump wired
- Got the rest of the fuel lines ran
- Installed the regulator fully on it's new bracket along with the coil
Decided to stick with the QR2 Helix from DJ, we will see how it works, going to open the primary tomorrow and see what goodies are in there.
Re-installed the secondary and the chain and 19 tooth sprocket, along with the chain case cover.
Installed the charge tube and turbo for good now.
So moving along nicely, should go pretty fast from here.
Thanks

I went with the rubber ones because we had them in stock and also I have had great luck with them.
