It really made the engine run smoother. We had a little snow last night and the PTO never slowed down. Just kept blowing the snow with no effort. I'm loving it so far!
Not really into small John Deere content at all...saw the video as was literally thinking...JD missed the mark on this kit. Why don't these homeowner/commercial grade units have the power option the big guns get. Great work and cant wait for the snow and testing videos.
Nice install. We'll be interesting to see how you feel the performance is enhanced with adding the turbo. Have you added any gauges for heat etc, for monitoring.
We had our first snowfall last night. It was only 6" of snow and pretty easy blowing, but the performance was really good. Much smoother and better throttle response. I talked to him about adding an EGT and we both feel the temps are never going to get about 1200*F under the harshest of loads. Kevin did have a bung in the riser that was plugged. I might add a an EGT temp gauge in the future. We shall see. I did add some heat wrap to some wiring/radiator hose to the cab behind the exhaust just in case it got too warm. There was no visible discoloration to the heat wrap, so I think the temps are fine.
Can you provide a link to the catch-can you found on Amazon? Thanks. Will be interested in hearing how the catch-can works out and whether you'd make any changes to it's installation based on actual experience.
Another great vid, Savage! Great idea, snowblowers take power to run them! I don’t think you will regret this!

Thanks for the comment and the encouragement! I'm really excited to get into it.
