| Cat Most Feared had a Webber engine. It was kind of over kill for our type of riding. | |

| Turbo's are good for climbing hills. But really for trail riding you need low end power more then anything. If you like to fly around on gravel or dirt roads then it might be worth the price. For running around on trails 15-25MPH they are worthless.. | |

| turbos are great if you like working on your buggy. long as you dont go crazy on boost and can be happy with 20 more hp 70whp total it will be ok but you have to run 92+ octane all the time. and for $4-5000 more I'd just get a Xp900 I've been on 5 rides now with my stock 2011s and I'm so happy | |

| Its a money thing most likely. Around here, most guys dont need that kind of power. Im still debating building a turbo setup on my Rzr, while the power may be unnessary, it will keep me from being overran by an XP! | |
