Their old one was always 10+ hp higher. They had a stock ctech 800 showing 168hp out of the the box where everyone else was in the mid 150s. It will be interesting to see what the other shops see stock out of it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to hang on every word some of these reports had, especially if it was a sled I bought. I also heard reports that the Boost weren't all that the hype cracked them up to be. Who knows. I don't have any dog in the fight. If you can get a few more hp and keep it reliable out of a 850 2 stroke, I'm all for it. i just wonder what the real world difference is down on the lake. A sled length or 2? Edited December 12, 2023 by DriftBusta 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, seems like lottsa sleds advertising all this hp, but they don't have the top end of the older sleds. If this Ski Doo won't crack at least 110 mph on good hardpack/ice GPS I would feel like I got ripped off. Should go 120+ for what they cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way more than that unless you're on the pond. My buddy on his new 850 said our other buddy on his boost absolutely destroys him. Not even close anywhere. My son says his Khaos boost is unbelievable in the deep powder and the mountains. Beat his buddies 850 Doo up so bad it got sold with 400 miles on it for the turbo doo.

Father and son I ride with Father has a NA son has a boost. They're close to about 70 then the boost starts pulling him. Feels like riding the old triple triples with good top end pull. My dealer has offered his boost demo to me multiple times. Thanks but I'll pass because I know what will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a turbo sled obviously elevation plays no part, N/A 5,000ft up you're down significantly with the HP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I'm kinda in the middle here. I'm so used to the preseason hype I barely pay attention anymore. Always seems like real world, the hype never seems to amount to much. You know like a few sled lengths or minor finger walk at top end. Some of these guys are saying otherwise. Granted my Land barge is a different chassis than my Renegade, but I didn't see a 30 hp difference in claimed HP from my regular turbo vs. a turbo R.

I just don’t see the point of all the cost and complexity in a flat land sled u less they are going to give us a legit 200hp. That seems to be the number where it will give you a smile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bold, riding elevation... Prolly take well to a good clutch job.. But in all seriousness with any elevation it's going to be noticable better than an N/A motor.. And people will buy anything if it says turbo on it.. so sell sell sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
