I know forsure that the coupled suspension on the 08 is different from 07 also its a 136 i believe as opposed to the 144 on 07.
they redesigned the spindles so the steering is easier
Upgraded battery and starter gear too.
If turbo, there's more boost off the line on an 08.

isn't the boost the same on an 07 if you have all the 08 flashes?

Yes. All '06 and '07 models are supposed to be reprogrammed to the '08 spec by Polaris so you will have the same power (overboost function) and better cold startup. If you own an '06 or '07 and haven't already had the reflash, you must be living in a cave.
The new '08 spindles mimic the geometry of the Holz spindles without the bling factor.
Biggest change is the switch from the 144" uncoupled RMK suspension to the 136" coupled. Better for the trail crowd, not so good for the boondocking crowd. This heavy of a sled needs all the help it can get to float in deeper snow.
