Ski-doo 850 Turbo Snowmobile Mistake

[@joshgarner805]

I'm not sure if you know this or not but that turbo does nothing at low elevation. Its no different power wise then the stock 850 right next to it. They only build boost when the air gets thin in order to maintain the stock horse power(165hp). If your buddy doesn't ride out west he wasted a lot of money for nothing.

[@JMX07]

Not completely true. They will always boost .5 to 1 lb. Even at sea level. Throw a tune on one and it'll be a monster. But leaving it stock makes no sense at sea level.

That turbo doesn't make anymore power at sea level than the older summit sitting beside it

[@johanneswielenga6902]

@Borrowed Time The "when" should be any time you get on the sled.... I didn't even know people rode sleds without being on a mountain until I watched this video.

Same horsepower but more torque

[@backcountryshitok]

@@Liam-uc9xk indont think it does

[@stevilknieval]

It actually make less power/weight at low elevations. The turbo adds about 50 pounds extra compared the N/A 850

[@duckdestroyer2412]

@@stevilknieval from what I have read it helps maintain track speed, and I am guessing throttle response, which would help compensate for that weight.

MBRP exhausts are made right here inHuntsville Ontario where I live. Performance exhausts are banned on the trails here, and will get you a fine for excessive noise. Sledding just getting going here this year. Too warm, and not enough snow for the trails. I enjoy your vids Dave. 👍

[@joemascioni3101]

Wow, they have changed a wee bit since I have owned a sled. Mine was a "vintage" mid 70's 440 skidoo. Was the biggest machine in this area until Arcticat come out with the El Tigre I think in the early 80's.

[@bernardfrith1833]

i had a old scorpion back in early 80,s. they were narrow tracked screamers on packed trail but deep snow you better have a spare belt handy lol

[@hedemalmcarl]

the turbo will increase the usage as you get to elevation in order to keep the same 165 horsepower AT elevation, not sea level because its not as thin air there.

[@thomasbailey8306]

These new sleds are Rockets between your legs. LOL...Thank You for sharing. I miss riding. We dont get the snow like we used to so it doesnt pay to own one...I always owned a sled up until 10 years ago. I love that Sound BraaaaPpppp

[@tboystoys5682]

Awesome vid Guys. You were the odd man out. You need a new turbo ski doo. The 850 matryx is a power house as well.

[@darrellroeters4951]

[@ericrice4156]

I sure would love to ride some of the newer sleds BUT here in PA the snow just doesn't happen anymore so I guess I will just have to keep my Ol' XC 600 and pray for some snow lol!!!

not sure ware you are at in PA but over here in the laurel mountians of western PA we have had a great year! my brother has the ol xc 500 lol.

I prefer a naturally asperated Snapper. I get the grass cut, leaves picked up and mulched for the garden and rarely terrify myself over 4 times. Seems like Matthew or Bill is always bailing you out but you do a fine job with the camera and voice-overs. A-PLUS, Mr Logger!

[@logdog8920]

That Skidoo is a long ways from the old 335 Olympic 1 lunger. My brand of choice through the years was always Arctic Cat.

[@kentvelie8475]

What you guys not logging this year or what? January and no logging videos

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

Puts my old Yammi Ew433C to shame!!! Course in it's day it was fast!!! I remember back then, the "big" sleds you couldn't run trails with em, they would load up and foul plugs etc. Don't suppose that's a problem now days is it? I miss riding sleds. Now that I have had open heart, and I'm on blood thinners, and lost 340 pounds, I'm too cold blooded to go out and play in the snow, I'm too busy snuggling with the wood burner these days!!!

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

The old yami 433 is probably faster top end then the 850 turbo. Mountain sleds are very slow

[@bhermon265]

[@kenchiison4570]

A turbo summit for you guys makes about as much sense as me buying a skandic to ride 5 ft of powder at 10,000 ft. elevation.

[@brodenlamarche3984]

From someone that rides in the mountains you’re speaking straight facts

[@Chris_at_Home]

It sure is pretty flat there. I never ride at 10,000 ft. Our tree line is at about 2500 ft here.

[@seanw5496]

I put the bikeman tune on mine makes 210Hp on pump 94, also the stock clutching on the skidoo 850 turbo is terrible, its way to light hitting the rev limiter at elevation all the time, the intake track for naturally aspirated does nothing its all in the clutching to make it feel like a stock 850.

[@aldredske6197]

Hi Dave!!😀😀 That was pretty cool!!😀😀

The turbo makes less power at see level than the the na 850. Ski doo’s having more ski lift is more to do with the rear suspension set up and stuff lug track than it is to do with hp.

wondering what a 850 turbo costs any comments.

looked it up on line; MSRP $18,099.00 + MN sales tax of $1,334.00 for cost of $19,433.00. That's a lot of money, and it's what that nice snow mobile costs. I do not get it, but there is a market for the machine, people are purchasing them.

[@alex_truckingtv1263]

unless you are above 7000 feet the turbo does nothing for you ecxept make you 50 pounds heavier and 4000$ more in debt skidoo should specify that there turbo kit only does something above 7000 feet over sea level.. im sad to see people think they make more power with that turbo then a 850 etech stock it all placebo effect .. there even a point you could say that the turbo weight is causing you to lose 10HP if you follow the rule on for each 5 pounds of weight you add you lose 1 hp so unless you are going to go in wyoming utah or colorado for high high mountain altitude there is no reason to get this turbo kit :) plus that thing is 4K option holy snapppppp you can almost get an actual boomdocker turbo kit for that price that will give you a shiiiit ton more hp then 165xD just not uner warranty :P

[@terryruda6425]

Well said. Who puts a turbo on a sled for the purpose of maintaining power. Turbos are for increasing power above stock engine power or you spend alot of money for minimal benefit. Polaris did it right.
