I rode with a couple 850 turbos few days ago. The one was doing this exact same thing at wot playing in the hills. Consistently back firing and big cloud of black smoke. On a single climb it would do this 3 or 4 times. The other 850 turbo was not doing this.When I go WOT for greater than 8-12 seconds the engine and turbo fully cuts out for a split second, then it kicks back in again full power. I'm wondering if anyone else seems to have this problem?
I have 500km on the sled now and 200 of that has been off brake in with no change.
I only run fresh shell 91 non-ethanol fuel
If I actually bark the throttle before it cuts out it seems to eliminate the problem. I don't plan on taking it to the dealer and waiting 8 weeks for a repair during prime season.
