boost-it turbos coming to a doo near you

[lilduke]

Lol!! The best part is the only modification that t3 needed was the turbo kit.

Its got a Racers edge skid also....

in the chute where the Axis claws its way over, Niel states on his FB page that the T3 failed to make that chute, the Axis works very well

i wouldn't know, i haven't really gotten to ride my 872 due to having issues. but now its running again well see. I am inclined to say you are probably correct. Im pretty interested in this and wouldn't mind trying one out. If i have to do any more modifications i think something along the lines of this may be my next route. BUT well see how my bb performs.

872 turbo!

Nice vids, looks like bakers skid mod is struggling for life that last ten mph a bit.. Good indication of great track speed.. Good job boost it, looks promising

how have reeds held up?? I had heard he had had swaped some

I love these comments. Was it the same guy riding both sleds? I know guys who can pull hills on stock 155's that I couldn't on a turbo'd 174 with a 3 inch. So rider ability is the biggest thing. 2 different sleds with 2 different riders on the same chute means nothing to me. IMO

He swapped on one unit that he had a backfire Fred when it ran out of fuel. Blew the reeds right out with the lean backfire he told me.

The Axys is running a 174x2.5 not a 3inch.... Seems to work very well

What kind of fuel is required for the non-intercooled kit?

neil said they are running 91 with a splash of race.

 

[bigfish]

How does split second porting affect using this turbo. Would it help or hinder?

they have not tried one with porting so not sure on how it would work.

I paid 5300 for my 872 installed with the clutching to go with it, this kit being 5700 installed ready to rip i would say definitely gives the 872 a run for its money.

holy mackeral man id say thats the most expensive 872 i ever heard of i paid $2950 American for mine with the exchange was just under $3500 and thats with a new ballanced crank seems like a very expensive install you ended up with (or did u get a new crank installed aswell?)

 

[BCAV]

This is peer speculation but I would imagine it is the intercooled unit......also pure speculation but I would bet even money your trygstad bb wouldn't keep up with a well tuned low boost kit......

i dunno how many hp the low boost kit would give you but at elevation it should beat a big bore but i think what he was getting at was it gives it a run for it money as in COST more so than refering to who will win a race

 

[fredw]

What is weight of non intercooler kit above parts removed?? And same for w/a kit... Thanks

The non intercooled kit flat out rips for 4lbs of boost. There's no way an 872 will hold a candle to it and I've seen some good running 872's out there.

i had got the team set up with mine as well and install and thats what it came out to. But yea my point is cost wise...

yes i figured it should beat an 872 especially at elevation but no one said the 872 would win a race i believe what mountainsledmania was sayin is that the price would give the 872 a run for its money as in more people will be getting a low boost kit instead of a BB if the prices are gonna be that close
