So what’s the difference in turbo kits out there?
A large volume of folks what to know the difference between the kits...well i guess im the only one with the balls to start such a thread...
Let us prey...Dear Lord let this thread be productive like threads were a few years ago...amen!
Please Please Please Keep it somewhat clean!!!!!:
Understand I am bias to the twisted kit...lets admit this current competitive turbo kit market is best for us (consumer)…so one day, kits will eventually get much cheaper and much better.
All I know is what ive had/rode (twsited/Cutlers/Boondockers) and the facts I hear from respectable forum members who post the mostly unbias truth.
Some of what i am saying might be incorrect...so its best the folks inside the turbo kit ring correct me and/or offer some details about the kits they offer, this thread is for folks who need more info in deciding what kit to purchase...lets keep is respectable
Twisted Kits (attitude Fuel Controller) – Lets start with the Charge Tube (the volume of area multiplied by whatever time base that the compressor will take to overcome lag and get on boost)- This is the smallest charge tube volume area of any of the turbo kit companies (I think). This kit deletes the oil injection oil reservoir and allows room for a small 90-charge tube that drops directly to the small twisted kit air box. So its clear this kit has the potential to be the best for slow moving boondocking…I think all race kits get the additional injectors installed in the throttle bodies, this is achieved from fabricating the stock throttle bodies to allow room for 4 injectors. This will allow and more ideal fuel/air mix, leading to more power and less wasted fuel. I hear Cutlers is also doing this, but im not sure if its on a standard kit??? No 12V oil pump to supply the turbo will oil…Twisted uses the stock oil injection pump to supply oil to the turbo…some will ask, what if the oil pump fails, well that’s a long shot and its cheaper to replace a turbo bundle then replacing pistons and jugs…right? And understand the 12VDC oil pump that boodockers uses is great and you won’t find a thread to say otherwise. I hear all kits will now come with the quiet exhaust???? His turbo intake looks like something a blind 5th grader made in shop class
Boondockers race turbo kits with an intercooler – it will drop the intake temps with the aid of a fan, but it will also add a huge amount of lag when boondocking at a slower pace as this huge volume of area gets very hot at idle or moving through trees at a snales pace…im guessing a water/air exchanger with the aid of a fan would be even better. Changing reeds on this kit is a pain in the butt!!!! But i hear the aid of a fan will greatly help this issue , as it should. The air box is too big and you need to remove the intercooler to gain access. A few people hate the older fuel controller they had as it had way too many variables. Now I hear the new software is much better and way more simple…I do like the display and the advantage of looking at hard numbers…all the others use a bodeck controller that only has LEDs and three buttons…but they work great and everyone seems to love them. I also hear boondockers will release some trick stuff this year…something about a “push to pass” I guess it’s a button that kicks up the boost when you want more power at the touch of a button…this sounds way cool!!! Peolpe are liking the quiet sound of the revised tunnel exhasut dump..the older exhaust dump will get clogged with snow and bog your sled down in super deep dry pow....or atleast mine did
Cutlers (Attitude Fuel Controller)– well his kit is clean and defiantly the best looking kit. The Cutler M8 race kit I rode seemed to have no lag. The cold air intake is trick but it’s a bit over rated IMO. The discharge temps of the compressor are far more a variable that needs to be less then what it is...but we also want a quick spool up. He uses the stock exhaust port so its stealth and does not sound loud at all. Don’t get me wrong as I totally respect what Bill (inside joke) has brought to our aftermarket. Keep pushing forward as will the others.
