That was probably me. Ours has the M&W kit. The M&W Gear Co. made bolt-on turbo kits for popular 90-horse tractors in the '60's and '70's. Tons of 826's have these, in fact, I have probably seen more of them with this turbo kit than without. The kit came with a replacement cast manifold outlet which bolted between the manifold and turbo. It also came with an add-on engine oil filter. The filter base is mounted to the engine using a piece of angle iron and two of the lifter cover bolts. You run a braided-steel line from one of the engine oil galley plugs to the inlet of the filter, and the outlet line goes to the turbo. The return oil from the turbo drains through a "oil cooler" type hose back to a fitting that you install into the injection pump nut/drive gear access cover. The factory intake hose is modified to work, and you add a piece of radiator hose between the air cleaner and the turbo. The muffler is replaced with a straightpipe. These kits can be picked up at salvage yards for around $500, but figure on getting all new oil lines, intake hoses, having a fuel injection/turbo shop rebuilt the turbo, and having a farm equipment shop that knows IH's dyno it and set the pump, so you'll have around $1000 into it all said and done. Ours put out 99 hp before new injectors and rebuilt turbo, 107 hp now. The 358 was never factory-turbocharged in an ag application, but I think it was for some industrial use. The pistons in your engine are oil-cooled. If you can figure out how to make that intercooler work, let me know.
