I"ve posted earlier asking the best way to add some power to my Cockshutt 570 Super Diesel.I got some good advice on little tricks but am thinking it"s time to add some real power,the kind a turbo could give.I only use it for pulling and since I am running cut tires,I now have to run in the enhanced class due to recent rule changes.The 339 Hercules is stock other the having the pump turned up to achieve a max of 82 hp and a less restrictive air intake.The problem is I"m constantly running a close 2nd and third place(often 1-2 ft) behind tractors with 2-3 times the power.I hate to give up my cut tires(Firestone radials)as they really bite up on the tracks we have here and are keeping me close with great traction in spite of running less then half as fast.Also the tractor is one year to new to run stock antique class.Although I"ve been told the PSB Bosch pump I have might limit the full potential a turbo can give,it does provide much more then the stock engine can use as indicated by a drop in hp if I turn it up any more.Plus I"m getting PLENTY of black smoke when it"s under full load now.The engine and complete fuel system has had a recent overhaul so I know it"s healthy.I tried running the rpm"s up to 2400 but got no gains except for a surging governor so I turned it back to 2100.Has anyone got any info as to the best turbo to use,safe boost level and anything else that might help me out,or know someone who might know.I realize some fab work will be needed and I"ll have to spend some money but it"ll be worth it if I can give these guys a little more scare once in awhile.Thanks in advance for any help
