Mikeyd,
Are them ITP MudliteS tires you are running on your machine ?
What size ? Lift kit ?

Those are Essex surefoot 27". No lift kit, front tires will rub on occassion. Was going to get the lift kit but I hear its a real pain to install and think I can get by w/o it.

those are like a generic version od the 589's two guns! they bite just as good. not really a generic but a name brand manufactures copy of the 589's.

Yeah even Essex calls them 589's. They are heavy duty rated for 1100lbs. per tire. Kevlar sidewall.

Nice job on turbo! Have any idea of how much boost you are putting out?Did you run your oil return line into oil pan?

Less than 5 lbs. of boost. I returned the oil on the left side of the block where there was a place for a oil dipstick when kubota uses this engine on other models. Its got a rubber stop pressed in, I just popped that out and pressed in a oil dipstick tube and returned the oil there.

A couple of you guys asked for pics of the whole machine. It was warm enough here today to clean it up so I took a couple of pics. I do have a short video of it running with the turbo whistling, if someone could tell me how to post a video, I will.
