I bought a 2010 800 with a turbo,(Not my smartest decision) and the center section of the turbo is froze up. I'm not positive of the cause at this time. Potential bad oil pump.
I contacted Boondocker twice, first time was the tech department. Awesome guy to talk too. Discussed mapping and trying to figure out why it wouldn't get to RPM.
Found the problem after that. Turbo won't spin.
Called boondocker, talked to sales/parts. Told the guy I had 1178 miles on this sled and He told me that was a lot of miles on a sled. I laughed. I found out that they no longer support the turbo. The oil pump is their design and they can't help. None available, quit producing in 2012. Also the center section is 650-800$
2 years of support on a product seems a bit short. 1178 miles seems like a short life span as well. It is a 10 year old sled that I have no clue how it was maintained. However, when you call a company and they seem surprised it lasted that long, I'm a bit shocked.
It gets better. He did tell me I can buy a new system for it. 5-6k for something that only gets a couple years of support and only designed to lat 1200(per his comment) miles at most. I'm sure there are a lot of people that have got a lot more miles on these turbos. I'm not looking for a debate. If you are reading this and have a boondocker or other brand turbo that has reached more than 1200 miles you should tell Boondocker so they are better informed.
Done with the rant.
Anyone know where to send a ball bearing turbo for new seals and bearing that isn't boondocker. I tried a place in Salt lake that told me garrett is the only one and can't tell me the cost until they get it. Most likely 800 plus shipping. Not likely going to happen for the cost of this sled. Cheap Boondocker for sale soon. lol
