My favorite part of the whole sled is the odo with 9 miles on it! You have one nice mod sled what will run years and years for you. Wish I could afford to do it right like that. Looks great, good job with the install.

Hi guys...it certainly looks sweet. I have the same sled 2012 XTX black and have the kit sitting in my shop ready to install. I'm going to sell the kit and my 2012. My arm with 20 screws and 2 pins and plates has taken a turn for the worse and unable to ride. So I'll mention it here but I wish I didn't have to sell. MCX 290 kit not even opened $6300 cdn no gst or pst. You pay shipping. Grey hound bus is pretty cheap ($40). Wpg. Thanks

Did another detail thing tonight - added a bag to cover my gauges - I will be removing the A/F gauge when my wideband commander comes in - it will display on my power commander screen that can be coverd with riser cover. Can you tell I'm excited about this sled?!?!?!

You and Ernie Should come up to Cochrane. We had a snow storm yesterday and a foot came down.

I can't believe that sled even moves without any studs!! All that horsepower & no studs forget about it. Stud her up & hold on!!!!

Nice install! How is the lag on the big 290 kit?
I wonder if GSXR could comment on turbo lag between the 180 kit he ran last year and the 290 kit.

Hello
What kind boost gauge do you use. I've just done this installation in my 2011 Apex XTX, but I haven't bought any boost gauge yet. What kind is recommended?
Another question
Did you let your TCV stay at the hose behind the wastegate?. I'm a little afraid that it will be much snow in that area, and if the TCV freeze, it's possible to get problems with overboosting ?
Nice guys!! Love the boost frist ride on my 03 RX1 Bender i was in love!!!!

I bought a cyberdyne from egauges.com - I love the gauge - but it flashes constantly - not supposed to - but it does. It is very bright and clear - the flashing doesn't bother me but it might some. dynojet makes a very nice on but its pricey.
I did not use the TCV as it is made for compensating when changing elevation - not something I will do. Anything in line has the potential to freeze and spike your boost - best thing to do it you want a set and go situtation is set the rod and have a straight hose

I have not rode the 290 yet , still no snow here , but last year the 200 had zero lag and ran perfect!
No tcv either, no altitude change here , just a manual boost control to lower boost when travelling if we get regular gas !
I use the Autometer digital boost pn # 6559 gauge, awesome !
