Well I just bought a powder lites turbo nytro off ebay this past week. We were able to get out and ride the sled this past weekend and it was a blast, (rode north of cadillac to garlord) I can see how the power is addicting. The sled is a 2011 shorty nytro with a 136 and a back country track, it also has a trail tank. We rode 180 miles on the sled without any issues other than when we first rode the sled it was running around 16-18 lbs of boost, I thought the sled was a little tooo much at this power and turned it down to 12-13 lbs of boost that I had seen these sleds at before. This is my first boosted sled and it was unreal how trail ride able the sled was and how much more power it had compared side by side to my other XTX. The best part of the sled was that over the 180 miles that we rode I was able to average 11.2 mpg and I was in the boost a lot. The only thing the sled could do better is that it has a slight hesitation coming of mid-range without boost going to fully throttle. Other than that the sled was a blast and am looking forward to riding it all season next year on the trail.

Welcome to the boosted yammie club these sleds are unreal trail machines almost too much at times.
I assume you know the specs of what you bought but yes keep tabs on the boost and fuel quality. Only thing that will kill them is wrong boost for the fuel.

Did you get that sled in Findlay Ohio? Sounds like a sled my buddy had for sale. I haven't talked to him since I got back home from up North last week. If it is, I know you are going to have a great time with it! Welcome to the world of BOOST!

Yes it is from Findlay,
As far as set up the sled has avid drivers, back country track, powder lites turbo set around 12-13 psi with the head shimn, trail tank, shock wave helix, and it is running the rapid bike fuel controller.
The sled ran great other than a bobble coming off mid throttle going into the boost. We did see fuel boiling in the tank after driving through kalkaska (slow speeds and warmer temps on sat) the sled ran fine when this was happening and even started back up after stopping for a min or two.
I have a few things to take care of as far a set up for the trail, it has been set up with out transfer block and has the bump stop raised so that the track will not run in to the red charge tube.
The only pictures I have of the sled are from ebay, we were having too much fun riding to stop and take any pictures

I thought by the discription that it sounded like Bruce's sled. He is a neat guy to go riding with. Did he show you the Motorhome/toyhauler that he had built that we go out West in to go riding? He is quite the builder. The sled you bought is really low miles, since he built his Turbo XTX later that year, and then he rode it more. Your sled is geared higher, since it started as a shorty. So it is quite a bit faster on top end than the XTX's are. So he rode the XTX for climbing and yours for more of a trail riding sled. Enjoy

The motorhome/hauler was quite something, I had noticed that the gearing was higher, @ 90 the skis were still off the ground and it is still pulling very hard. I only had it up to 103 on the speedo and felt that it had lots left. We just added about 200 miles and the sled now has 1520 miles. Looking forward to many more miles
