To Turbo or not to Turbo?

So i have a 2008 RZR800 and I came across a used turbo kit for sale for $800. Still waiting on the full details of the kit but it stated it only has 500km on it and is set up for 6lbs of boost. It comes with fmf exhaust, clutching, power commander, intercooler and custom piping. I can only assume "clutching" means it has an upgraded clutch kit with it, again still waiting on the full details.

Anyway just want some input from anyone that has experience with turbos on their machines. What headaches to expect, upgrades ill have to do and is it even worth it?

Install rear hub grease zerk?

Has anyone installed zerks in the rear hub/carrier/knuckle for the bushings? Do you have any photo’s of where you put them? If no photo’s please describe where you put them please. Also how hard/easy is it to reach them to grease.
I could not find any posting on here under 800 forum. I did find some under the general forum but for different models of RZR’s. What pictures posted there would not work on my RZR’s (09′ and 10′). Their control arms are different.
After looking at mime, I think I can put one in the bottom that would work, but would have to take the tire off to grease it. The top I do not see how to put one in at all. The control arm covers must/all of the area of attachment.

I see in the parts listing they changed the control arms in 10/09 and 02/11. So newer control arms could be different? Mine are built 08/08 and 12/09.

rear diff interchange between years?trans question also.

I broke the pinion off in my 08 rzr…didn’t see a hole in the case yet but haven’t pulled it out,i pulled transfer case apart and can see the driveshaft turns with my fingers and so does the pinion nut but the tires don’t,looks like the pinion threads are still in the nut…I know a lot of stuff interchanges in the bikes even if the parts sites have different numbers..what year rear diffs will bolt in?case had a little hole a while back that I had jb welded up so nows the time to replace the whole thing I would think…

it also broke the gear off at the little splines in the transfer case that has been a known problem..already got another and had it tig welded together..i dropped off in a hole and heard a pop..didn’t move after that so we pulled it back to camp….

I have a nice 2012 trans I can put in the bike if its known to be a better trans than the 08 trans..anyone know?

Question about fender flares…

Hey there all.

I have a 2011 800. I want wider fender flares.

I’ve searched and searched, Seen Maier flares & they look just like the SuperATV flares but for $100+ more. I purchased a set of the SuperATV 3" flares & after seeing them up against my RZR I put them right back out on eBay. I wasn’t happy about having to drill 32 new holes & they didn’t really line up with the body.

Will 800s fender flares mount directly onto the 800? If so, with screws or bolts or push rivets? Where can I find 800s flares for my 800?

Does anyone make 900XP style flares for the 800? ("style" meaning nice and thick, angles)

I have searched Google and this forum (most came back in the google search) but I got lost, there were so many ‘this fits that, doesn’t fit front, only rear, etc etc posts. My head hurts now.

800 Upper Doors

Is there any one who makes upper doors to fit with the factory Polaris doors for those of us who have and like our 800s? ATV Supper Store used to sell a very nice set but it looks like they don’t handle them any more. I sent them a message but never received an answer. Would like a set to make winter ridding more fun.

2014 800s coolant bleeder screw

Ok I have a guy that just changed his water pump and now wants to know where his bleeder screw is. If you have pics could you please post them and show where it is or just describe where it is. I have no knowledge where it is on the 800s.

I will show him this thread to follow. Thanks fellows.

help with transmission issue

I recently posted about issues with my trans.after some good replies I replaced my detent balls and springs and everything seemed to work fine.
This past weekend while on a ride my trans would hang in high gear.I can loosen the bolt that is against the detent spring (shift lever side)move shifter and tighten bolt and all works well,,low,reverse and neutral shifting until iI run a little in high gear and it will once again hang.
Also the inner detent doesn’t do anything when installed.so I left in out.
Any ideas what I’m looking at,,bent shift lever,worn out detent plate?
Machine only has 1500 miles.
