I've got a Foton 25 HP that I've had for about a year now. Its been pretty good with the mowing, blade work and front end loading tasks. Snow plowing with the blade has gone better than expected too. There is a time though when just a few more ponies would make life a lot easier and I've thought about adding a turbo. Diesels are much easier to add a turbo to than gas engines but while I spent a lot of years working on indycars with turbos I've never worked up a set up for a diesel. Mechanically making all the fittings and fabricating the mounts and such are not a problem. Its engineering the proper size turbo and making whatever mods need to be done in the fuel system. I realize that the next bigger size tractor might have been cost effective but I really like the smaller one. It fits the barn, does the job for the most part and is easier to handle. I guess the basic question here is: has anyone out there done this type of thing and where can I find info on sizing and fuel system mods????
Thanks in advance.
