My buddy who is a house builder just got onto a waiting list to buy one in Edmonton. Dealer has 4 sold and 2 demo's and he is #5. Just sold his 2020 summit to buy the turbo. Was a Polaris owner for ever till the dealer screwed him over

How many people are running out to buy a 165 HP turbo?

I predict that this mid season run is a 100% sell and there will be a lot sold for next fall.
A pull and go turbo with warrany has been long awaited and at 165hp at elevation will be more than enough to get most people (who ae honest with themselves) into situations that will be extending their skill level.
Truck/fuel, trailer, sled/fuel/oil, riding gear,avy gear and training, room rentals, booze/meals - adding 3k for a warrantied turbo is really not that much more for the fun factor increase.
Dam straight I will order one (snowcheck if the sled works well this winter) and so is my brother and we are older geezers!
The guys that have a need for 200-240hp will still go aftermarket - the rest of us that do not want to spin wrenches will take the 165hp route.

Doo is about to take another leap forward as the sled sales leader.

My fleet is full. Race gas turbo pro and a stockish Alpha. Can’t wait to compare the Alpha to the turbo 850. I know the turbo will beat it but by how much? But if I was in the market for a new sled I would have to try the new doo turbo.

I think you’ll see a lot of us “geezers” on these turbos, older guys that have run mods over the years but no longer want the hassle. I’d never consider a aftermarket turbo with all the trouble and mixing fuel etc etc; but a factory shot and go! Sh$t yah!

There is a lot of us "geezers" on trouble free turboed sleds now....and don't have to mix fuel. ��

I am always confused with these comments in regards to aftermarket turbos and extra hassle.. I have been running the base sidekick kit now for 4 years, on two different sleds.. fill with fuel (91), oil, check the general **** like track tension and ride. Maybe most of you are thinking the past with terrible programming and **** kits. The only thing a newer BD kit needs is extra air intake vents to let that sucker breath.
