Gen 5 Factory Turbo

[bendy]

The guys that compare the sidewinders to the old apex and nytros don't have a clue and have probably never ridden one. They are so much better in almost every way.

I know. I owned a TViper and rode a Sidewinder. Even those two are different from one another.

no different for any of the brands.

100% they are. They were going the right direction with sidewinder just need to refine it and drop weight. its doable but I dont think they would sell enough just because most would rather take 100 less hp even if it means their sled is glued together but I get it

Sure, but not many guys are comparing the skidoo and polaris sleds to the 2010's

 

[bendy]

Its all relative. I've done the 4S thing but I've moved on.

Does Yamaha still make sleds… seriously have not seen one on the hill for 6yrs now.

So who’s in the aftermarket is developing G5 turbo kits. Love to see the layout!

 

[NoBrakes!]

love to see a Redline high boost kit with a WTA and some nice stainless pipes....

Does anyone else think there are to many sub-forums in the G5 section and therefore clicks to get to this thread?
A G5 trail section, really? What's wrong with lumping everything altogether by chassis like all the other sleds?

Fresh walleye and spinach salad here with a side of garlic bread.

Might have to eat Kraft dinner and a glass of water for 8 months to save enough money for a G5….

Good idea, better stock up.

I find it strange Yamaha hasent made a more aggressive push in the snowmobile world. They did in the late 2000's and early 2010's with their 4 strokes than fell off when the industry favored 2 strokes. Out of all the sled manufacturers I would think they would have the most resources to put the best 2 stroke snowmobile together.

I would also think aftermarket turbos are going the way of the 4 stroke snowmobile. Who buys an aftermarket turbo when they come out turboed of the box nowadays.

aftermarket turbos are still a cost effective way to get into a turbo.... A base summit with a low boost kit is cheaper right now than snow checking a factory turbo. further to that a used sled and a low boost setup is even more appetizing.

I have yet to see an aftermarket turbo that runs as good as stock...

I think we are gonna stop in Edmonton on the way home from vale on Saturday, been too long without a sled show, going through withdrawals haha

They narrowed them up a lot more than what it appeared online. Where your feet sit isnt much room at all. French dude said the snowchecks without the big gauge are getting delivered with the smaller one button gauge not the two button gauge that is on the prototypes.
