A turbocharger increases the amount of air present for combustion. By itself it doesnt creat any more power. More fuel is needed to do that. Some tractors will deliver that fuel through the govorner, some need the pump turned up. Any time you do that it increases stress on all internal engine and transmission components and increases heat on the top of the piston. Look at the tractors that use the same engine and transmission in turbo and non turbo models. In most cases you will find the pistons and rings ar emade out of different metals, gears cut stronger, etc. I would look long and hard at what I was asking of the tractor nefore I did it. You may not need more powere you may need more weight or more tractor. Some models will take it better than others.
