Well, after spending countless hours on these forums i realized how insanely helpful everyone on here is. I finally took the time to make an account, because theres a lot of things i would love to do to my sled. I just picked up a 2010 iq turbo dragon with 2100 miles on it from a dealership. Great shape, i will be sure to get pics soon. Its really my first sled, being young this is the first sled i've had the money to buy and consider "mine" and not "mine thats really my dads." Naturally the first thing i did was come here and read up on all things, good and bad, people were/are saying about the sled. The big things that stood out to me:
1. Get a boost guage
2. Double check all hoses and routing (of wiring as well)
3. Replace clamps? Some say yes, some say no from what i read...
Now, im 16 so obviously pretty new to this. Been riding for enough years that i know what im doing on most external repairs and issues, but dont have the skills or guts to really go all in and tear apart my engine to do mods and/or repairs. Is there anything else that i can/should do right away to prevent issues when the snow falls? And as far as installing a boost gauge, which hose would i need to splice in order to attach it, and where? Im kind of a speed junkie as it seems many here are (don't get me wrong, i love an all day cruise through the trails...but also like to beat my dad and uncle across the lake) and would love to get the most top end out of my sled. I know it will never be an 1100 turbo, but i'd still like to break 100 when i pin it. Thanks to all in advance...sorry for my newbie-ness!
