I dont fear turning up a Turbo as I see no harm in stuffing more air into the cylinders. HOWEVER when it comes to increasing fuel and temperatures and stress and strain in general, I see it as a matter of engineering trade offs of HP versus stress and strain and engine longevity. The engineers consider all such factors in their design and settle for the best trade offs yielding max HP versus longevity. Now if one makes modifications its true he may gain more HP but physics and material science just tells me something else has to suffer which may not be apparrent in the short run but over long time it could come back to bite you.
But hey its your tractor and your choice to turn up anything you well please, Im ONLY saying there have to be trade offs when you do
