04nightfire Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 There isn't any lag with the turbo. I'm not a fan of the ITC but am getting use to it. It is crazy jumpy in sport mode. There are a few things with it that have given me an oh shit moment. If you come into a corner and blip the throttle you best be ready for it to start to accelerate. It's not like a 2 stroke where it comes down to idle quickly. I had to grab a handful of break so I didn't blow the corner. Most of the time I just run in standard mode. If you're cruising and grab a handful, the sled pulls hard with no hesitation. It wold be interesting to jump on one with a 195 tune to see what that feels like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 18 1200 has the ITC as well, its different but interesting, sport mode adds a bit of stupid fun thats for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve6 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 This is what scares me about a turbo on a sled, (the turbo is red-hot), maybe normal for some but that would really eat into the longevity of the turbo. This is a 900 ace turbo, posted on some fb groups a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a guy on doo talk that has 13700 miles on his now I've been reading those posts. What I found puzzling was the Dupont slides and carbides he pulled from his old sled to put on the new 900T. The slides now have like 30,000 miles (yes miles) on them and the carbides have 20,000. Something like that anyways. For the cost, why would you remove the slides and put them on a new sled? Maybe to see how far they can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just put new ones on. Looks like his secondary spring finally broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
