RX-1?
Maximum 14 lbs of boost running a MCXpress rearmount kit in a RX-1, according to Erik Marklund it's on the edge.

Hi Micke!
A friend of mine went similar road last winter as you are about to, difference is his is a MCX, we followed many good recomendations we learned about on this forum, here are the ones that comes to my mind:
1. Lambda is a must, ask anyone, when you have one you can finetune the engine and keep it safe!
2. RX1 Billet carburator covers, the plastic ones leak boost!
3. Perhaps the Turbo cv springs that Hurricane has, heard alot about them, don't know anyone who tried them yet, i know RXRider are going to, and he tried the most!
On my friends sled their are 3headgaskets and a hi/low switch, boost 14lbs when on 98 octane and 12lbs when he is uncertain on the fuel, ex. small gasstations in the outback!
Good luck with your sled, hope we meet somewhere this winter!

I live in Boden, do you live nearby or passes sometime, let me know, maybe we can go sledding 
!
Did you try someones Yamaha Turbo before you decided to get one of your own?
My neighbours have caught the Turbo bug, my nearest neighbour is waiting on the new Nytro XTX and have an MCX on order!!!
Everyone that drove my TApex get weird smiles in their faces afterwards, a mix of pure joy and some tense, as if they get freighten or something

You must have had a very fast sled, or the RX1 had some plugs fouled ;-)!
I am up towards Gällivare quite often, much better terrain up there then down here, and on some occasion i seen an AC BM standing beside the trail towards "Kullen" not yours i hope?
Then maybe you know Jan Granström and Helene Rytterlöv?

Take TBirds advice 
Get the Turbo Carb Springs from Hurricane, much better throttle response with them I'm sure of. I have not tried them yet, but I will have them in before next season.
Me and a friend did some R&D cutting down a set of stock springs last winter, it did cure our problem with a very fat bottom end to some extent, but I'm not fully satisfied with the result. Problem area have been at WOT from engagement speed to 7000 rpms. We have struggeled with getting rid of high 9s to low 10s AFR since we first installed the MCX kits way back.
I believe Hurricanes springs will finally cure that problem. You find them at
