Does anyone know if there is any turbo out there compatible for a mid 90s Kubota B2150? I’d enjoy some more power for doing things around the yard.
B2150 turbo?

Buy a bigger tractor!
That has aV1200, which for one is very rare.
Turbo charging that engine will give you about 2HP gain, that is if it doesn't overheat.
It's yours, so do what you want, But I've seen more of these turbo jobs ending in mechanical and financial failure than positive outcomes.

Great idea - but the time and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ spent will be ...... wasted for the most part.

With all of the above information for input, how much more power do you realistically think you need? What chores are you doing which require more power? Does the tractor itself seem under powered or is it the accessories or implements? You could also consider adding weight and using a lower gear to accomplish many tasks. It may be slower but cheaper than a new tractor.
I agree with Wolfman. It's yours to do with as you chose, so I will only second the opinion. 2 or 3 hp gained isn't worth the expense incured, or the possibility of damaging the engine.
