Branson 3520H Fuel Adjustment and Turbo

[NDBranson]

Has anyone adjusted their fuel screw setting on the NA A1700 engine?

I saw some posts online and folks seem to do it on the smaller Bransons. I want just a few more horses for snowblowing and running a PTO generator.

Also curious if anyone has installed a turbo on their NA engine?

I figure the parts would be expensive but not 100% cost prohibitive.

I have been thinking this for as long as I have had the tractor. I believe the manifold is the same and you just need the turbo. good luck finding one. it bolts where the current muffler mount is. not sure where they are getting the oil supply and return from. I would like to know because I want to add a oil pressure gauge. then I believe you just need to adjust the fueling block with shims and a little more pressure. I have never seen a turbo Branson or century. not even sure they actually made any in that era, just catalog pictures. but going from 37HP to about 48 would be nice for about 1K maybe.
