CAN-AM Defender Turbo System
Installation Guide

INTRODUCTION

WELCOME TO YOUR NEW CAN-AM DEFENDER TURBO SYSTEM.
The Force Turbos pump fuel turbo system is designed specifically for all Can- Am Defender® 1000 CC units.
With a boost level of 5 psi and high-volume design, you are sure to get the additional horsepower you are looking for with minimal stress on the motor. Your Defender will see a dramatic horsepower increase to the wheels from 45 RWHP to near or above 80 RWHP and 20 FTLBS of torque.
INSTALLATION TIME:
A professional mechanic can install the system in about 6 hours, while a home garage mechanic usually needs 8-10 hours or more.
DISCLAIMER:
While there are no internal engine modifications required, we still recommend that the installation technician have adequate experience in power sports mechanics. Proper installation is imperative for safe operation.
