Stock reeds? I had such issues with reeds due to the popping - stockers and the cage mangled - new stock cages with carbons f**kin mangled - turbo force turbo reeds now - cages bend in the middle - I just picked up the 160/320 spring yesterday - I tried another mod with the reeds - it's better now for not blowing them apart but they restrict boost too much and it was pressuring up the charge tube too much and pushing it off the turbo - I'm gonna go back to stock head I think - new stock cages with turbo force turbo reeds maybe flip em over or something - afd fury 99 mixed 50/50 with 91/94 - get the thunder arms - 160/320 spring etc etc in the primary and do some R&D and probably take the primary on/off one day about 6-12 times - I wanna try staying 2.54 ratio - because when I'm in the deep snow and she's pushing 8 lbs it leaves 850 turbo's behind - kanedog knows all about that 2.54 ratio wherever he is -
oh ya I've had lots of trips out of her - it loves to do the day 5 catastrophic failure - but luckily it's never too serious - 5000kms and still original motor with 2nd top end - I'm not sure if your aware of the fact that the BARO comes out of the ECU on an 800 etec - it's not as easy to hack the computer to run your secondary injector control like the 850 - you know how right at the very beginning of the gen 4 there was " boost injectors" ya that means that doo has been f*kin with a turbo on that hoor from day 1 of the gen 4 - it's ALOT more of a turbo ready machine compared to an 800 - so back to an 800 it's a very difficult machine to clutch with the factory Tra 7 due to the lack of adjustability without replacing the entire insides with aftermarket parts - until u get help from others with the same setup and ride in the mountains - it can be tricky to tune also - I had issues with 02 sensor from day 1 with av gas - also bottom end issues with av - it's also a centre mount - it's just a different animal -the number of people that got a TSS centre mount 100% dialed in on an 800etec is very low - a side mount is a different story all together compared to this - fingers crossed I get my clutching figured out and I'll be at eagles in Dec/Jan destroying my buddies BD 850 sidekick - but who knows he contacted BD the other day and has all these updates and sh*t coming so I'm a bit worried I'm gonna get left behind now
