One of the places I worked for years ago, before going in for myself, used to have a customer with concrete saws that had turboed Wisconsins on them. In that instance I think they were the higher HP V460's or V465's instead of the VH4's but it's been too long ago to remember all the details. What I do remember is that every time one came to us the turbo had gone out.
That said, the footprint of a V460/V465 isn't that much larger than the VH4's and gives around 20 to 30 extra HP, depending on the exact model, without any alteration. Some of the old New Holland skid steers had a high flow option on the hydraulics that was made possible by changing out the smaller 30 HP V4 engine with the larger 60+ HP series. I looked into one awhile back and they can be had used for around $2000 to $2500, but if you want a reman your looking around $5000.
The way I'm looking at it, by the time you spend money on all the manifolds, a small turbo, etc, etc you'll probably have well over $2500 invested in what would be at best a questionable setup. On the other hand you can spend the same amount, or a little more, and have a tried and true engine setting there with more HP than the turboed engine would ever produce.
