X. AEROCHARGER STINGER KIT
This optional mod replaces the stock stinger on the snowmobile’s expansion pipe with Aerocharger’s custom
stinger. The diameter on the custom stinger is larger, which reduces backpressure and increases flow
efficiency. This modification was developed by Aerocharger’s race team as a simple way to enhance throttle
response and horsepower.
NOTE: The Aerocharger Stinger Kit is optional, and is not required for the turbo system to be installed and
operated. Do not install this kit if you are uncomfortable cutting and welding the stock pipe. Incorrectly
modifying the pipe can result in fitment issues or damage the engine and turbo.
10.4
Deburr around the cut edge, inside and out. Clean the surface of the pipe
1/2” around the cut, so the new stinger will weld cleanly on.
10.1 With the pipe removed from the vehicle, 10.2 Measure and mark both lines 5” from the
draw lines to align the new stinger. Use a square
to mark two lines on opposite sides of the pipe,
running perpendicular to the stock stinger.
seat of the exhaust gasket. These marks will be
used to locate the new exhaust gasket seat.
10.5 Drop the stinger into the pipe from the
engine side, narrow end first. Pass it through the
pipe, and it will emerge from the cut edge lined up
in place.
10.6 If the pipe is old or has surface
corrosion, it may be necessary to grind off some of
the flange on the new stinger to seat properly.
10.7 Pull the stinger tightly
through the cut end of the pipe.
Use the marks and a square to
line up the stinger the same way
the original stinger was aligned.
10.3 With the location of the new stinger marked on the pipe, use a reciprocating saw to cut off the
stock stinger directly behind the weld.

10.8
Once the stinger is located
according to the reference marks, use
a TIG welder to weld the stinger in
place. Be sure to tack it around the
circumference first so that it will not
pull or move during welding. A MIG
welder can also be used, but be sure to
carefully clean the pipe afterwards to
ensure that no MIG wire sticks inside.
10.12 The excess weld inside the pipe will need to be ground off to improve performance
and prevent damage to the turbo. Remove all burrs or MIG wire, and make sure the inside
surface of the stinger is smooth.
10.9
Locate the gasket seat ring using the 5”
reference mark from the original seat. DO NOT
measure from the end of the tube - the new stinger
will have the excess cut off the end after all the
welding is complete.
10.10
Measure the stock stinger to determin
how far back the spring tabs should be welded.
Mark the distance and orientation on the new
stinger.
10.13
The new stinger will be longer than
necessary and must be cut to the correct size. Use
the gasket to determine how much length needs to
be cut off. Use a reciprocating saw to cut it to the
correct size, and deburr all edges.
10.11
10.14
Make a final check that all inside
welds are smooth and free of burrs, and that
there are no chips, weld slag, MIG wire, dust or
debris remaining in the pipe. Thoroughly blow all
debris out the pipe with an air compressor before
reinstalling the pipe into the vehicle.
Weld on the new gasket seat and
spring tabs. The gasket seat is only welded on the
back side, providing a clean surface for the gasket
to seal against. Tack all around before welding
the full bead to make sure the ring doesn’t move
during welding.

XX. VENTING
A basic vent kit is included in this turbo system. Venting your snowmobile is strongly recommended in order
to lower engine compartment temperatures and keep out snow. It is not necessary to use all of the included
vents, but there must be sufficient venting to get air to the turbocharger. All Aerocharger vents include cutout patterns for the panels. These can be used with a hole saw set to quickly install the vents.

holes in the panel using standard hole saws.
The included template provides suggestions
for locating the holes, but they can be drilled
wherever desired. De-burr the plastic to keep

21.3 Reconnect the AFR harness to the o2
sensor, but leave the sensor uninstalled in order to
calibrate it to open air.
21.4
Start the sled again. The gauge will now
display “Htr.” After 30 seconds, it will display
“Cal,” and then read “22.4” indicating it has been
calibrated to the atmosphere. The AFR calibration
procedure is complete, and the o2 sensor can now
be screwed back into the muffler.

C. TURBO REEDS
A. FUELING
A set of Turbo Reeds are provided to replace the
stock outer reeds. The traditional “double-stack
method” can also be used for forced-induction.
By stacking reeds with the halved outer reeds, the
opening action is not slowed and throttle response
stays snappy. The extra reed layer will add stiffness
to the reeds as they open to the fullest extent,
preventing them from striking the case.
DOUBLE-STACK METHOD:
1. Remove the old set of reeds and cut off half the
length of the petals with a razor blade.
2. Install the half-reeds on the outside of the
outer reeds on your new reed cage/petals.
When troubleshooting, always check the reeds for
chipping and wear. Worn reeds can cause many
symptoms of poor performance.
D. AEROCHARGER MAINTENANCE
Aerocharger boost springs are used to set the
boost pressure. Every Aerocharger is shipped
with a green 5 PSI spring already installed.
Available springs include:
5 PSI
GREEN
8 PSI

NOTE: NEVER attempt to disassemble

The bearing and vane systems
require specialized tools to take it
apart without damaging it. Contact
Aerocharger for all service and
repairs.
Adjusting the CVT clutch is critical for the turbo
system to function with full power and reliability.
A clutch setup is included with this system, and
includes ramps, weights, primary spring, helix,
and gearing. Aerocharger’s recommended
settings are included to offer a baseline setup for
the snowmobile. Additional configuration may
be necessary to fine-tune clutch performance to
specific riding areas and boost setups.
INTEGRATED BOOST CONTROLLER
The Integrated boost controller on the Aerocharger is a simple
mechanical actuator where pressure in a chamber pushes against a spring
to move the vanes. It can be easily disassembled to adjust the boost by
changing springs and/or shims. Manual & electronic boost controllers are
compatible with Aerocharger systems, but are not recommended.
E. AFR GAUGE GUIDELINES
• AFR numbers are most important to monitor when the engine is
under heavy load, such as heavy acceleration or climbing a hill.
• Monitor your air/fuel ratio to ensure that it stays below 12.8 when
the engine is under heavy load.
• The AFR will spike to very lean levels when decelerating. This is
normal.
• Sensors should be periodically recalibrated. Always completely
remove the sensor from the pipe to get an accurate reading.
Specialized OEM tools are required to installation
and adjustment of the vehicle’s clutching. If you
do not have the proper tools or experience to
adjust the clutching on your E-TEC, take the
vehicle to a qualified performance shop or dealer.

CONTROLLER BONNET
Many factors play a role in octane requirements,
such as elevation, air density, temperature, and
tolerances specific to the motor. This Octane
Chart is intended to offer a rough guideline for
the octane levels that an Aerocharged sled will
require based on typical circumstances.
Aerochargers consume oil throughout their use. The
amount of oil consumed is very small, and the oil
level must only be checked once a year or every
30,000 miles. Aerocharger oil never has to be
changed - only added. There is no benefit to
changing the oil unless it has been contaminated
with a foreign substance, such as if the vehicle has
been underwater for a long time.

The Aerocharger is a sophisticated and highly efficient variable
vane turbocharger. Unlike conventional turbos, it does not
require oil pumps or lines. The Aerocharger will not need more
maintenance than any other turbo - this graphic contains

G. INNOVATE MTX-L AFR GAUGE ERROR CODES
F. AEROCOMMANDER FUEL CONTROLLER
There are 6 adjustable modes that can be used to fine-tune this system for personal preference and to specific
engine variances. The controller is preset for typical conditions, and further adjustment is usually not
necessary. If major adjustments on the fuel controller are required to resolve performance issues, this might
indicate a problem elsewhere in the system - contact an Aerocharger tech to review the install and setup.
FUEL CONTROLLER ADJUSTMENTS
The following modes are programming modes, and
are valid only while the controller is being adjustedthe controller will display differently while the
snowmobile is being ridden. Press the mode button
to scroll through the programming modes.
The first 3 modes are for fine-tune adjustments.
1. Green Mode: This mode controls how
much fuel is being added under low RPM
conditions. (0-4900 RPM). For cruising at low
RPM or riding downhill.
2. Yellow Mode: Controls how much fuel is
being added in the mid RPM range of the
powerband. (4900-6500 RPM). For typical
trail riding.
3. Red Mode: Controls how much fuel is being
added at the top of the RPM range. (6500Max RPM). For high speed cruise to wide open
throttle.
When the Blue light turns on while riding, it
indicates that the Aerocharger is making boost. The
following modes control fuel delivery while boosting:
4. Green and Blue: This is the fuel added when
the blue light first turns on and boost is
initially produced. This mode rarely needs
adjustment.
5. Yellow and Blue: The maximum fuel added
while under full boost. Adjust this mode if the
sled is lean or rich while at wide open throttle,
or at high load conditions under boost. This
mode is also useful for large changes in
elevation.
6. Red and Blue: This determines which psi the
Blue light turns on, and extra fuel is first added
to compensate for boost. Adjusting this mode
up will delay the initial fuel increase under
boost. This mode can be adjusted for crisper
engine response. NOTE: Read the warning below.
