Install an alky kit and raise up the boost!
 
Thats fine i have one of me just getting on it a little and one of some revving were you can hear the turbo, i have to convert them to WMP when i get a chance now they are quicktime!

did you convert the carb to a blow through setup? doesnt it normally get full in the carb by vaccum? how did you get this to work?
 
It is a blow through setup. Right after the setup was finished i went for a ride and at WOT it would just die because of extreme lean conditions, we went back to the shop and pulled the bowl on the carb and maid the main jet larger and left the pilot alone. Now it idles good, but it has to be full throttle or idle, because as soon as the throttle is opened a little it is way rich but after i slight stumble it takes off. I would get some pics of it, but it is winter and it is stuffed in storage, so i could get my Polaris XLT home.
