I put one turbo on a 560. The guy needed a little more umph for his two row silage chopper. Well, tweaked it a little to 70 horsepower. Hey, that was easy, give me a little more so I can pull with it. Ya, that went pretty good , how about another 10 horses. The dam thing would put out 90 horse power (factory high idle rpm's and 540 rpm's at horse power reading). He would then turn the high idle adjusting screw out all the way and unhook throttle linkage, run it with a length of wire. I have no idea how many rpm's it went up to during the pull. Best part was, announcer at pull says, guy installed a turbo for more power for pull. Guy's wife asked him after pull was over, what is a turbo. He says, some little thing that gives it more power. Never told his wife much about his operation.
Not too long after, a sleeve is in the crankcase. I repaired the engine and then he traded it off. Now the problem really starts as the new owner pulls it for all it is worth at that horsepower on the farm doing tillage. I saw bearings tear up, even in the TA, that I never saw fail ever. A really nice tractor was literally destroyed.
The 282 puts out all the power the way it comes from the factory that it was ever intended. I always felt they should have limited the air supply to about 50 horse power at 1800 or 60 at 2300 rpms and problems 90 percent solved. Put in more cubic inches if you wanted more power.
Turbo's were originally intended and used to compensate for higher elevations where oxygen levels were lower. Then they went nuts with them.
