1st off -- I'm retired - Have a RzR - Run the sand - And am interested in an engine swap or a Turbo system.
You've written a review of a Turbo system (Done this past Winter) in a foreign country. There is not one US dealer that has any information on their web sites to date. It's now -- June.
Hey Dave, I can understand your concerns, so I'll address them here to help ya out. I was in Sweden in April '08, our summer, their winter. The exclusive distributor is MCX-USA, which is the new name for OHV Turbos. All their contact information was in the article and the ad next to their article, as well.
There is no price information. Personally - I would only buy from a US located business. This eliminates Customs - Exchange rates - Shipping, etc.
You will only be able to buy this turbo kit from MCX-USA, which is a US based company. As far as pricing, call or email Trey Lokey at MCX-USA and he will tell you the pricing. We would have liked to include it in the article, but they didn't have it all compiled at time of print.
Good question...definitely something I'd ask Trey.
No way to view an installation manual to educate an interested individual and verify an average individual could install.
A full installation manual will be included with their kit, and our article was about as close to an installation manual as we could post without giving an average do-it-yourselfer the exact method of creating the kit. You have to understand that there's folks out there that believe they can do anything a large company can with the right information.
There is at least one design flaw that I see - I'm certinally not interested in dealing with a foreign company to resolve.
What is it? You won't be dealing with a foreign company. It's a US company selling the kits, which are manufacturered in Sweden at the most successful snowmobile turbo company there is. They know what they're doing, trust me.
While overall I like the engineering that has gone into this -- I'm turned off by NO availability in the US.
That's quite an assumption you're making without contacting the company, don't you think?
So -- Why do this article as it is NOT available to us here in the States ??
See above!
Please don't make the comment that information is coming.
Case in point -- A year ago Thunderhawk made a post that they were coming out with a Turbo system for the RzR. To date -- Nothing.
Some of us don't have the luxury of a long life ahead of us.
Having recently subscribed -- I see no reason to renew when the time comes -- As this article has inflamed me. I'm interested and it's unobtainable.

Dave, in the future, it would be best if you spent the time to actually read the article, then contact the company that's listed in both the article and the ad next to the article before making a post like this in public. We strive hard to include all necessary information for our readers, so they can make an educated decision on a product, and in this case we did this for this article, as well. I'm sorry if it may have come across differently, but a simple phone call to Trey Lokey of MCX-USA would have prevented this entirely. Fair enough?
