so I have my new 16 xtx le turbo sitting here. And Houston, we have a problem. Rear evol chamber will hit the idler wheel on an almost full compression. Can someone verify this on theirs please. It will hit wheel well befor it hits the bump stops.

Seeing as you have yours can you take some pictures of the finished product so I can see what stuff looks like. Is your turbo installed? Did they ship it will the sled?
 
I would think that is the evol kit for the front shocks not the rear. All the pics I have seen the evol tube is below the shock tube no beside it. I have the Axis shock back there and it is rotated 45 deg from the front shocks. This pic is on an XTX with the linkage kit.

Nope. It's the back shock. The back shock is the only one w a rebound adjustment at the top of the shock.
 
And sure. I'll take some pics. Turbo was installed at the dealer. I went to put on Hygear linkage kit and found the rear arm is different from 15 to 16. Hygear bracket does not fit. That's when I found out that this shock will hit!!
 
Tried. Still hits. Dealer is looking into it now. Just figured I would ask if anyone has one yet they can sit on it and see. Can't move the idler wheel to the outside either. It will hit the top boggie
 
The evol chamber needs to be facing the top.
 
did that come from the factory that way? You know the 13 yr old indian labor they are using to build these should know better but the 50 yr old engineer shame on you!!!!

I don't think the track will clear them if they are on the top. When I put mine in there is barely clearance over the top of the shock without the evol tube protruding. They must have faith In the bump stops being enough to protect that from being wiped out.
 
and with the tube on top if it did fit there would be no way to put the pump on it.
