Why is that insane if it includes a water to air intercooler and Turbo pipe? That would also include all clutching and good gauges.
It's impossible to make sustainable horsepower without a really good intercooler.
Our kit is 8 grand plus 1000.00 for install, so not sure why their install would be 3 grand?
Did it take you 40 hrs to install your kit?
8 grand is well worth the money considering there is not another kit on the snow that will touch it in the Doo world.
The same can be said for ours in the Polaris sleds.
You get what you pay for, it's a premium kit that has been tested and works great. It has all the best goodies. You can do it two ways. Right the first time or buy the cheapest kit out their and spend all day trying to get it to run and then spend more in the long run. If I owned a ski doo it's the only kit I would even think about buying. Take a look at the contents in this kit and then compare them to a manufacturer who is 18hours away and offers no support I think the price speaks for itself.

we will see how the one of a kind doo kit performs this winter... those are big shoes to fill
i guess we got lucky with the aero kit for 3800$$ and then got lucky again because it works sweet... and with out a intercooler:d just luck i guess
silber just released theres as well for 4600$$ and boondocker at 6 grand, so theres were my isane comment came from
wish the best for tss on this endever and hope to run up against one this winter

Once you compare your blow dryer to a their kit you will see why it is priced where it is.we will see how the one of a kind doo kit performs this winter... those are big shoes to fill

You should remove the intercoolers from your pickup, tractor, and combine and see how they run. They are there for a really good reason.

Does the TSS kits intercooler run off of a separate U cooler system like yours Neil, or do they just pipe into the coolant?
Man the good kits do seem expensive. 9k is alot of money, but I guess if its a choice of throwing 5-6k into a kit that is gonna work so-so and/or give you problems, the extra money is probably worth it. I know if I was gonna do a turbo kit I would just bit the bullet and buy one of the good ones.

Yeah 8k is a high price to pay for boost. Lets see about 22k for a new one with a turbo installed and it would hold up for what 2 seasons possibly more like 1 and thats iffy.

Yes it does use a separate cooler for the airbox.
Spending that kind of money is clearly a choice, and we are catering to the customers that want the best. There are plenty of guys out there that have compromised over the years and they know it is just not worth it.
TSS and Boost-It are the only two turbo builders that test and build kits for the BC snow conditions. I have ridden in the US and quite honestly they probably don't need an intercooler at all aside from a few of the high elevation states.
And as far as trying to justify what we spend on mountain sledding...99 percent of the general population would consider us insane. If you want the best, you have to pay up, that will never change.
To convince ones self that their non intercooled sled works just as well as a properly set up water to air kit, is clearly just settling.

I would really like to see one of these in person. I have been toying with the idea of a turbo for a few years. Just have a few honest points:
1. Im not into pulling big chutes. I like ripping around in the trees. Is the power going to be usable for this, or kind of a waste.
2. I have no interest in tinkering/tuning. I want to fuel up, top off the oil, pull the rope and go. If I do a top end each season as preventative maintenance, whatever.
3. I like helicopters, but I don't want to pay for my sled to go for a ride.

I have yet to see a reliable 2 stroke turbo setup run problem free for any lenghth of time and if your comparing bang for ur buck and considering turbo setups best to go 4 stroke tried true proven reliable consistant power and way more k before its blown away.

What would you define as any lenght of time???? This is a very relative question
I have a 2009 OVS M8 race gas turbo and got 800 pull the rope and go miles... no issues at all.... then my oil pump on my turbo quit and well I had to buy a new turbo. In the same 800 miles a guy with a bone stock Pro had his clutch blow up, same amount of down time... both needed a pull off the hill....
Long story short if you dont want stuff to break leave it in the garage and order the videos...

Ive often wondered about shops sending out kits to customers, most problems in my life have stemmed from putting things in places they shouldn't be. But joking aside,your product is going out there then us dummies get our hands on it and fk things up, or are they fairly idiot proof to install.

I was talking 2 stroke turbo reliability and there aint a 2 stroke out there that can compare to a 4 stroke turbo for longevity or maint or reliability. Your oil pump failed after 800 kms Rene has like 8000 kms and oil and gas is all it required.
