I'm confused. Have you seen many lift pump failures at 100 hrs?
We have a lot of S2T Turbocharged L2501 tractors with well over 100 hrs and zero problems.

it was the issue i had changed fuel cleaned tank and new fuel filter. the amount of difference between the old pump and new pump by just pushing plunger was alot...ive read where these are prone to fail causing sputtering and loss of power...ive had a bx and a b now a l so my first experience with a l ...i just thought you guys modifying these might have came across a bad one or one that would not provide enough fuel..
when it fails it will not get enough fuel to be able to the bleeder to get air out.
The OEM pump isn’t exactly a high flow unit, but it doesn’t take a lot of diesel to make 40hp.
guess not im fixed it seems so im relieved not anything else. maybe the turbo in my future need to sell some junk raise funds. thanks.
I was recently contacted by a local Kubota owner with an LX2610 Cab that wants a Turbo Kit. So it looks like we'll probably have a couple new Turbo Kits for 2026!

Mike,
I'm now at nearly 50 hours on my '25 LX2620. For purposes of the turbo kit, I presume the LX2610 & LX2620 are identical?

We need to do more research on the LX engine and platform before we get started but, I believe so. Our goal would be one Turbo Kit that would fit both the LX2610 & LX2620. The LX customer is very, very excited. He's already come by on multiple occasions since we initially talked about the Turbo Kit. Right now we're just getting things scheduled. We have the Kioti CK2610 / CK2620 - Bobcat CT2025 to Turbo first, then we'll get going on the LX.
We're heading into our busy season, so we will be dedicated to getting those Turbo Kit orders filled before we begin the development on the future Turbo Kits. That said, we will have the Kioti/Bobcat tractor soon and the LX tractor is available to us at anytime to begin the process.

We’re quickly approaching the busy Turbo Kit manufacturing season. Right now we’re 2-3 weeks out but, those ETA’s will increase as orders come rolling in. There seems to be a shortage of OEM Turbochargers (that happened last year too), but we’re not alarmed yet, we have multiple vendors but…there also appears to be a likely cost increase coming. I haven’t been told precisely why the costs are increasing but just be prepared. Our margins are very low, so if this happens, there might be a small increase in the price of the Turbo Kits. In the meantime, we’ll keep getting the Turbo Kits manufactured and out the door to you guys so you’ll have your installations complete and ready for spring!

Light at the end of the tunnel!!!
We should be caught up on backorders in the next couple months. It has been a challenging time as our long time friend and fabricator has been having some serious health issues which has negatively effected our Turbo Kit lead times. Unfortunately, due to his health and obligations, he will be unable to continue manufacturing our Turbo pipes. We wish him the best of health and for a full and quick recovery!
That said we have a new, highly skilled fabricator that is taking over. He produces absolutely amazing work and his craftsmanship is without a doubt on par with the quality that you have come to expect from our Turbo Kits!
We sincerely apologize for the extended delays and we hope to get back up to full speed quickly and new orders will begin shipping by the end of May.

Positive thoughts for your #1 fab/magician. I'm really glad to hear that you will be able to keep cranking them out.
These kits are awesome!
Thanks for the update Mike.
