Has anyone mounted a boost gauge on their Kubota? Or do any of the models come with one? What pressure? Any mounting tricks?

I used to enjoy listening to the turbo boosting up on the old JD 4010. The new KubotaM59 turbo is way quieter and doesn't have that JD turbo whine.....a suppose a gauge isn't necessary, but it would be one more toy that is fun to watch.

It should be easy enough to install, a 30 psi gauge mounted on the dash and a small brake-size braided line running to the intake manifold would do the trick.

Unless your old JD 4010 had a M&W turbo kit installed the 4010's were naturally aspirated.:D Any boost gauge up to 30 psi should work fine.
