I recommend adding a vacuum “T” fitting between the Turbo compressor housing and boost actuator.

Edit: We do include a vacuum T fitting (hose and hardware) if the optional gauge kit is selected. However, we are still lacking installation instructions for this option. :(
I need to get this done :D

Thank you for the info! What’s the hose size, or what size T-fitting do I need?

We’re working on several Turbo Kits at the moment, with many, many more on Back-Order. We’re doing our best to get these built as quickly as possible. The OEM Kubota/Mitsubishi MHI Turbochargers are also on Back-Order complicating things further. We have lots of those on Order too.

What state is your Order shipping to?

I’m in Montana. That’s great you guys are busy with lots of orders! Not trying to rush things, I’m just getting excited about getting it! Starting to feel like a kid waiting for Santa. 😀

Thanks for the reply!

You’re in the production queue.

And…
I fully understand. Trust me, it’ll be worth the wait and you’ll be very pleased with Santa’s contribution this year! :)

That sounds real good! I’m really looking forward to it. The performance results you’re showing, sound just like what our tractor needs. It definitely struggles with a lack of power at times; like pushing heavy snow, climbing a hill, or roading in high gear. We’re at 4,500 ft. elevation here, so this should help with the smoke too.

Excited for Santa!

The Turbo Kit will improve performance significantly, especially at your elevation (and higher)…..even with the factory fuel settings! Less smoke, lower EGT’s and your L2501 will perform like you are operating at sea level but with a touch more power. With fuel adjustments, it’ll behave like an L3901 at sea level. And when it comes to PTO power, the Turbo Kit provides all the power you’ll need. It’s quite an improvement.

Thank you, Mike for the reassurance that I’ve made a good decision to improve performance, on our L2501 with the S2T Turbo Kit.
