I like the idea of the turbo, it should not give you any trouble. If you were to study the history of turbo-charging, you would find that technology was developed by the trucking industry as a means of improving fuel effiency. Increasing the horsepower was not the goal. The agriculture industry was quick to follow the trucking folks, again with the goal of increasing effiency. It was the aftermarket and hotrodder industry that found you could also crank up the horsepower by adding a turbo and turning up the fuel, often to the point of throwing all fuel effiency out the window. The folks that applied the hotrod technology to their farm tractors were the ones that experienced transmission and rear end failures and then blamed it on the tractor mfgr. for building an inferior machine. Go ahead and install the turbo, but then test the tractor on a dyno and dial the horsepower down to a reasonable level. Both you and the 560 will be happy.
