I'm convinced that I need (ok want) a turbo for my RZR. I've narrowed the options down to two MCX or a Aerocharger system. Both companies offer what would appear to be a good reliable system. I'm leaving Dragonfire out of this one, because their system doesn't include a intercooler.

Both kits seem to produce similar results. I believe the Aerocharger system will be easy to install and includes a wide-band Air-fuel sensor and gauge as well as a clutch kit, which is probably why the kits more.

Both kits include a third injector and require it to be installed in the throttle body.

I'm not excited about having to install the extra gasket in the MCX kit to lower compression, but I know it's a good kit and its about 1000 cheaper.

The guys at Aerocharger have been kind enough to answer all my questions I've had, during which time I found out about having to install the extra fuel injector in the throttle body. Up until then, I felt very confident in installing the kit myself. Now I'm thinking I'll need to have some help. So my next question is where? I live outside of Idaho Falls Idaho, and I don't think there is anyone locally with any experience with either kit?

So what do you guys think? Which kit would you recommend and why? Also do any of you know of any area around Salt Lake that would have experience installing either kit?

Thanks

Jason

I have been reading up on these kits also. To me the MCX looks like the best option.
My main concern with all the turbo kits I have seen is that the air intake has no box/canister. The intake tube is sticking up through the bed, or in between the seats with the air filter exposed to the elements.
What happens if it rains? Won't the air filter get soaked and let water into the air system?

I was hoping I could find a turbo kit that would use a canister type air filter intake like the DFR intake that a lot of people have used to replace the plastic stock canister... Is there a reason that an air box/canister shouldn't be used with a turbo?
With all the airbox issues people have had with naturally aspirated machines I would think that you would want to take the same precautions with a turbo system...

It's not very close to you, but I heard that Craz-E-Dealz in North Bend, Oregon is installing MCX kits and has a dyno.

I like your thought. One of the drawbacks for me has always been the location of the air filter. I would love to see a kit that uses something like the DFR air intake (especially since I have one). Did you do any price comparisons between the kits? It seems to me that the actual difference in cost would be a lot closer, once you add in the air mixture guage and the clutch kit.

Some people have opted to install a canister type filter behind the drivers seat instead of the location that MCX has picked. Changing the air intake routing is an easy process with this kit.
You may want to check with Plaza Cycle in Salt Lake (Heber City) in regards to an install.

Did anybody self installed a MCX Turbo Kit ? If so any trick in it ? Who do have a best price for a kit or you need to buy direct from MCX ?

how much does this set up run.....I couldnt find a price anywhere

So does that mean that I could still use the DFR air intake with a turbo system? What are people ending up paying the the MCX kit and install?

I'll get a picture of one of these installs. It was not the DFR, but a similar unit.

I have the mcx turbo and I bought a dfr intake and also bought some intake fittings from air flow systems and plumbed it all in. I mounted the dfr intake on the driver side of the bed with a 90 turned down through the front left corner of the bed then 90 back pointing toward the turbo. It turned out very nice and also took most all the turbo intake noise away

Can you take a picture and post it on here for me please. Also if you don't mind me asking what did the kit end up costing you installed? What about a clutch kit?

thanks

Jason

most of the turbo kits i have seen are just bellow and above 5,000.

I would be glad to get you some pictures but I cant right now because my rzr is in a trailer getting ready to make a big trip to OK to ride at little sahara. Call trey at mcx, he is a super guy to deal with and he can set you up with everything you need. I think it was around 5k for everything. But I added the dfr myself later.

That is exactly what I was thinking of...
Where did you plumb the intake port of the DFR canister to? Can you run it to the stock air intake between the seats?
Pics of your setup would be great to see if you have time.
Thanks!

I will try to take a picture before I leave for OK. Not sure I can get to it where it is, loaded on a 48ft enclosed trailer.(very tight) I put a 90 off the top of the dfr facing forward through my back window at the bottom left corner just above the seat.
