Here are some pics of the Boost-It prototype turbo kit.

Since we have the fueling nailed for these sleds we decided it would be in our best interest to build full turbo kits. This kit has a water to air airbox on closed loop, electronic boost controller, cold air intake, 2871R turbo, 2.5 downpipe to 3 inch muffler, and a few other odds and ends.

We have addressed many of the common issues with Pro turbo's like low voltage, poor transition in to boost, heat sinking engines, hitting Det, and fuel cutting at wide open.

We rode this sled for 4 days last weekend along with two HM water to air kits, and it as good or better than the HM in every way.

The 3 Pro's that we had never hit Det in 4 days of riding. We credit this to our new Tmap intercepter that allows the factory ecu to read boost and add extra fuel to the stock injectors the split second that boost is detected. This way the top end gets the fuel that is needed when the throttle is opened quickly.

We will be trying 2 more different turbo's including a new GTX Garrett with billet wheel. Once we confirm the turbocharger we will be using then final pricing will be announced. We will likely be offering a more price friendly non intercooled kit too.

Yes it's a antigravity lithium battery for the e-start. It weighs 1.3 lbs.
We started at 7 lbs and ran it as high as 9 on 50/50 C-12 and pump prem. I am heading back out tomorrow and will turn it up a bit more.

I did forget to mention that the entire kit is built in Alberta. People that have had to deal with some of the American companies can agree that it can have it's hurdles.

I have looked in to the Comp turbo, and am not totally convinced that turbo is ready for the snowmobile world yet. The other problem is dealing with Comp in the US. If we ever had to deal with warranty then it may become an issue.
I would build you a custom application though if you wanted to try it. I would ask you to supply the turbo though.
Thanks

I will let TSS look after the Cat and E-tech at this point.

I rode this sled for 4 more days and it is pretty awesome for a 2 stroke. I must admit it is better than I thought it would be.

I ran in to a couple guys with competitor make Pro turbo kits and they were in shock how our sled ran compared to theirs. We do have a 3x174 though so that makes a difference.
When a Pro can run with a 270MCX Nytro in a uphill drag race it really opens some eyes.

We will have this sled at Yamafest along with a few other Pro's running our fuel system.

We will be running at a few chutes and see how it compares to the Yammies.
