NOS in an 850 Turbo??? 850

I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to get a NOS kit for an 850. Very hard to find because of the odd number of cylinders, but I have heard of people doing it and I am in search of a place that stocks a kit for it. Any help would be great, thanks...

Word of caution...

The transaxle on the drive train can handle 317 hp max. Any more than this will damage the transaxle.

An IPD USA distributor told me this when we were talking about how much horsepower the transaxle could safely handle without exploding.

Is there any transaxle assembly available in the aftermarket world that can handle more than 317hp? i am looking to get my 850 to 400 in the near future, but if I cannot get another transaxle that CAN handle more power, than I guess that will be my limit, but if anyone knows of any aftermarket assemblies for the 850 that can handle more power, please let me know, thanks.

Since the stock connecting rods can only handle about 285 hp, then other parts start to go, I assume that you are also pouring some big bucks into the motor too....but you already knew that.

So tell us, what mods have you done so far? ECU? Exhaust? Turbo upgrade?
Any dyno, G-tech or dragstrip numbers?

Is that the reason that IPD's chips are set to 285 hp? I was curious as to why they limited it to that point.

Other companies have higher performance chips than IPD's.

I don't know why everyone looks to IPD for everything, they are expensive.
