Good day. My turbo. 1. Going up creek bed very steep had to be careful. Near top and engine temp was going up shut down and may have flashed red light first 100 mile on slide. 2. Next riding up a long steep climbe in trees to get to alpine warn temp came on. They have fail to make a cooling system that works. I now have a rack on back and fill it with snow so can be a little longer on riding with out temp going up. Love it .

Setup snow, slow speed, did you put your snow flap on.

Yeah, can't believe how these Gen4's heat up in low/hard/icy conditions. With the flap on & scratchers down, I got the overheat message 3 times last weekend. I'm thinking of installing ski scratchers or the old school rail scratchers. The factory ones are like a limp d!nk.

Flap on speed from 20 mph to 60 mph.

This is on an icy tree trail with tight trees and no where else to go unless you're on a snow bike! I don't have the luxury of groomed trails to get to the Alpine where I ride in Northern BC.

You are very lucky. That is what it was here when I started sleding. Be safe
Dont do it. We seem to tow one off the mountain everyday, and one guy just about killed himself trying to keep up to my 15 T3 174...
Trying is the key word here, the NA boys all dropping drainages while the turbos boys wait... lol
Hype train is what they are....

Im not kidding.
it would probably make more difference at 10000ft forsure.
Those lynxs look nice.
My Buddy had the polaris "boost" out yesterday. Sounds like it never made it too far.....
I wont spending the big bucks on a factory turbo thats forsure..

Factory turbo sucks at 10k plus personally. The turbo lag is quite large and very noticeable. Well on mine at least.
Good to know. Dont really get up that high in Revelstoke. In some spots maybe 9, 9500.
Most the good stuff is 5000 to 7500 feet range

Hey however you want to justify it, but there is some significant gains if you throw the same rider back and forth between sleds.
Most can't ride a n/a to it's full potential, myself included.
Ill have to rent one for a day, maybe ill change my mind.
Not super impressed after riding with other peoples though.

I had the exact same sled in n/a last year, I would say the boost is worth it.
I will say they have the potential to make some people worse riders in some situations, as with all turbo sleds.
I think the 850 was hype too thats why i picked up the T3! Haha
Im just trying to stir the pot here a bit.
My first 174, pretty stoked on how good it goes in the deep snow. Doesnt change directions as easily as the shorter tracks.
Im sure a 175 turbo would go pretty good in the deep snow. Guys ive been with all have 163's
Lets talk reliability now. 3 turbos in 3 days on the rope.
Been out with boost it kits for years and didnt have these problems.
Hows yours running Skegpro?
Definitely would want the expended warranty.
