hey everyone I need you help in buying a sled tomorrow

[tnt-salvage]

Okay so im looking at two sleds tomorrow one is a 2012 polaris pro with boodocker turbo non intercooler. Has 1400km and needs minor work, few bushings need changing

Second sled is a 2013 xm with tss turbo kit , this has the intercooler, there are 2000km on chassis but there is only 600 on create engine.


Both sleds show well I know the history on each if them but I need input on which one I should go with I have been told the polaris is more reliable as being a pull and go sled. The price on each sled is very close so I want the most reliable sled. I dont want to always have to adjust thngs

Not sure about about which turbo is better but I have a 13 xm and I love the machine. I think they have a lot nicer fit and finish than the Polaris in my opinion. I have 535 miles on mine with not a single problem. Hope this helps

Did you say reliable polaris?

 

[Clode]

TSS XM....at least you know you would get good support if you have turbo issues

Thanks guys, my gandfather rides a polaris with a boondocker kit he has been happy with his but has been told the etecs have not been working as good ? Or there not as user friendly as a boosted pro im trying to get a hold of reid headland to ask him as he has both sleds and should give me a straight un bias opinion but I just have his work number, dose anyone have his personal number ?

don't be too concerned about how well the boosted xm works, it doesn't matter. it's all about fit & finish. that's really what makes them great!

XM all the way. The direct injection makes those motors awesome. A much more sophisticated design.

I'm seeing the issue as BOOSTED pro v.s BOOSTED XM (etec).

I haven't seen a boosted etec so dont know but you will sure get a lot of opinions on brand.... or one opinion repeated 79 times.

I am pretty sure the LAST thing in the world I would buy used would be a turbo'd sled!!!!!

A mod sled is one thing, a used turbo sounds like a whole lot of headache waiting to happen.

How you make out tnt? I imagine you made your purchase!! I did not offer my opinion as you already know it! lol I would be surprised if you went with poo though!! I would think they have the bugs out of the turbo etech by now.

 

[tnt-salvage]

thanks guys for the advice. Doug/Dazzler you will be very proud of me. i brought home the 2012 pro. it was very clean and had only 890 miles. dealer checked it out and it was minimal wear on machine i will be adding a set of tube boards to it and venting the intake outside the hood.

Hope it turns out to be a reliable machine for you.
