Diesel John Deere Gator with Turbocharger

Here are a few photos of my latest little project. Its a 2005 john deere gator hpx with the 21hp yanmar diesel. I turned up the fuel to about 30 hp but it would smoke like crazy. Last weekend I added a little turbo to it and turned up the fuel some more. It is an amazing difference. I would estimate 40-45 hp now. It is too much fun!! It feels like a little sports car instead of a tractor. I also have attached 2 pictures of the grasshopper lawnmower that I turbocharged about 5 years ago. It has a 21 hp kubota that now makes about 30-32 hp.
