Anyone know anything about them ? Just tjought id ask before ordering something different thwy look like a clean install on the Axys but dont know much about them
Ya I havent rode mine much yet but so far very happy with it. The one downside on the pro models is that you have to drill a 3'' hole into your hood because it has a snorkel style air intake. And any turbo kit you are way better off to run AV gas as it isnt much more then the price of premium!
Is there a downside to no intercooler with these kits?
The fit and finish is very clean, and I've read his electronics are second to none. I wish pro climb guys would speak up cause I'm wanting bolt a kit on my m8
boo hoo stay in calgary then, whiney calgarians
The guy in Calgary further back bitching about gas prices .

Yes a few down sides to non intercooled but Redline is coming out with intercooling I have been told. Non intercooled is warmer IAT's warmer air means leass dense so less hp. Also non intercooled is less consistent and over longer pulls temps will climb. As you turn the boost up charge temps also increase. Also for comparision a redline or slober non intercooled kit at 8psi requires a 50:50 mix. My mtntk at the same boost level still pump gas 1500k no detonation so same hp or more because of cooler charge. I know Dave has worked with the kits to work on IAT's best as possible with non intercooled but they are running the same KPA turbos (not a high quality turbo) as lots of other cheeper turbo kits. For the same price as a non intercooled Redline kit i got a mtntk kit with water to air (also sled runs cooler then any other sled on the trail) and a BW efr turbo and flash tuning(calculations from a ecu vs corrections) vs a box. The red line box is deffently one of the best on the market and quality and fit and fishinish look great on them. On my XM where i know i wouod have to run better fuel i would deffently consider a redline kit .
Like you said at low boost there (8lbs or less) there really isn't much of a need for an intercooler as the heat of compression just isn't that big of a factor.Is there a downside to no intercooler with these kits?

Go to 15 to 19 lbs like on the the 4 strokes then yes.
Also there is a significant pressure drop across some intercoolers which requires extra boost to overcome.

It's deffently not a big factor at 8psi most 2 stroke kits will produce roughtly 6-8hp per # of boost. The big difference with the w2a is consistency and that at 8# you can run pump where non interested IAT's are up enough that you need a 50:50 mix. Nothing wrong with runnjng some Av lots of ppl do it (don't get off topic i know av and mixes can cause a debate) but the nice part of pump gas is i ride alot. On my stock xm or my turbo axys i will burn my tank, my can and sometimes a buddies can. With my mtntk kit i can dump in a buddies straigh pump and keep riding at tue same boost level.
