Typical turbo!!!!!
Well that there typical turbo AINT been beat by anything on snow yet..... And the owner says he can carve around on the technical climbs not a problemm.. But there is a little lag, but by the time you can count to two you had better be hanging on..... Turbo'd yammy's aint no problem for this kitty..

We have built both and last year ran them side by side. I dont know how much seat time you have on these 2 sleds you speak of but I will say this
.............Turbo'd kittys aint no problem for yammies either. I'am not brand loyal but I will give the big edge to durability and reliability to the Yammy. This coming from a family that runs 6 Cats and 1 Yammy.

S.W. Not any more than any other major Mod. But have you ever pulled the rope on a tight 1200 at minus 20.
Got enclosed with heat on and electric blanket

Oh yah.. But the thing is that we've found is if you a few things to the cat they are really good and reliable with turbo's.. Ive heard of a couple of the nytro's having motor problems with turbo's on them.. But i guess it all just boils down to what each sled's boost is turned up to.. By the way thats a sweet lookin sled in your avatar.. What's in it for a motor?

That one is mine M1000
We have another one that is a mirror image which is my sons. M1000 Turbo.
Keep in mind the law of percentages when you speak of turbo machines. How many yammy tuboes compared to Cat turboes? Your gonna hear more from the side of majority thats a given. This gap is closing but not close.

Oh yah.. I hear you there.. But now that the aero charger 66 series hyperturbo's are going to be redally available i think that the two-stroke turbo thing wil be alot bigger... The aerocharger 66 kit for a rt1000 doo only weighs 34lbs.. Thats the whole kit with packing in the box still... Are you running stock throttle bodies on the turbo m1000?

Stop by the shop and check one out..they are good on the 1000's. For the most part if you keep the nturned up to only 10-12lbs boost they'll be good.. when we turbo'd the ken's xp we only added like2lbs over stock weight.. Cause you remove stock can and stuff.

Glengine I gotta ask, do you get PAID WELL for all your advertisements or WHAT?????
No i dont get paid for what i do on here at all.. What i do on here is just give people honest straight up info.. No bullcrap involved at all.. If they wish to come to our shop for something great if not then that is fine to.. There are somethings that we have figured out for sleds that people will need to come in and see us just because thats the way it is... For example if you have a M1000 that is turbo'd and it's blown up like a feew of the kits that i've heard of, then yah you'll have to come in or call me.. this is because why should i give everyone the fix for it, and it's an easy one.. See you seem to think that i'm just on here to advertise, well you couldn't farther from the truth if you tried.. I enjoy chatting about sleds and if i can help someone out with an issue that they are having or direct them to somewhere to find a proiduct that they are looking for great, even if it isn't at SPECIALTY....

I agree, I ride a m7t that is 30lbs lighter than the one m1t glengine speaks of and also do all my riding with that particular individual. We can't out run the stage 2 and 3 boosted apexs, but we also do not need mac truck to help us get unstuck. We are going down to yammy days in Revvy to hook up with Reebec and give the Monster a go in the back of boulder. We will get a good inclination of how these two stroke turbos really work against the turbo yammies.
