been asked about its performance and reliabity..
purchased last year early 15 and now over 1000k on sled its been pretty decent, first trip out in Colorado at 12000 feet, it ran perfect. but next trip in revy we had growing pains in a tune hiccup in mid throttle that popped a set of reeds , but impulse quickly dialed tune in and Had tom from toms snow machine dial in clutching and gearing to prevent over rev what also was part of the problem as well..
found the limitations of the stock skid, what worked fairly well during break-in but soon after was found to much ski lift with the better clutching.. had swapped to racers edge skid, but still need a heavier rear spring from racers edge to hold skis down, also went up to 8 tooth drivers..
seams pretty good now, but still assessing it performance
added a few other personal performance touches and overall, have not touched sled other than regular maintence last 600k
very easy to see the impulse quality and engineering in this kit.. its been very well thought out from the turbo choice, size of compressor, to the non adjustable fueling that has worked from 1200' to 12000' and ambient temp swings from -20 to +20c and no hiccups, coughs, or pops..
even in the deepest of snow and yes this is a non intercooled kit
as for negatives, it seams to be louder than other kits maybe because of divorced waste gate, but not so much for the driver.. cost of the kits are not cheap, but quality and performance in this kit shows quickly over other kits..
been running 5lbs boost all this year, track speeds have been excess of 65mph.. this last weekend I first learned how to adjust boost controller... and now 6 lbs even better speeds, driver needs more talent..lol some of the comments I hear from others running it or watching is how quick and clean it sounds compared to other kits, and performance difference thumbs
up to Zeb and Paul at impulse..
