im running about 10-12 psi on my phazer it runs well, but one time this weekend (-20 to -25) it spit and spudder and bog down and wouldnt run very well for about 10-20 mins then it ran alittle better.
Im running 91 octane and clutch has been professionally tuned for the turbo/sled at E&S by darren.

Anyone had this problem with their sled?

im thinking it was crappy fuel, should i be running 50/50 race gas?
would i notice a big difference?

YUP, FUEL FROZE UP... INTERCOOLER REALLY DOES A JOB ON THE INTAKE AIR AT THAT TEMPERATURES... MIGHT TRY SOME GAS LINE ANTIFREEZE TO KEEP THE THROTTLE BODY FROM FREEZING UP...... IS THAT THE ONLY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED??? AND RACE GAS WILL MAKE SOMEWHAT DIFFERENCE.

Was there any powder that you where riding in.I know that MC express has a problem with the air filter freezing off.That will make it sputter cause more fuel than air.As for running race fuel if you are not running the boost for race fuel than its not worth running.I know with mine if I try and run 12 of boost on 50/50 it will load up with fuel cause it does not have the compression to burn all the fuel.Now at 15 psi it runs awsome.
