A turbo engine will run smoother,use less fuel and run just as long,probably 3 times longer than the older engines.Plus put out more power.One of the reasons for the longer life is that better stuff is used to make valves in a turbo engine. If you put an aftercooler on the engine it even runs better.Much smoother,burns less fuel and runs longer. Buying a turbo is a lot cheaper than rebuilding an engine.The old Non Turbo engines smoked a lot,werent made of as good of stuff,and didnt put as much power out,and burned a lot more fuel. Diesel engines have a long life,but the turbo helps them have a longer life as long as everything is maintained right. They make new turbos nowdays that last a lot longer than the old ones did.I dont know if they make them for tractors or not,but they probably do. If you want to get the most out of a turbo you need an aftercooler I think.Also an air to air aftercooler is even better.Plus the right injectors to set it up right. Old 220 Cummins engines got about 3 miles to the gallon and smoked badly every time you pushed down the gas.Put a turbo and aftercooler on them and the right injectors and they got 5 or 6 miles to the gallon and only puffed smoke when you got down on them hard.Nowdays a N-14 450 HP can get 7 MPG and has air to air and a computer and doesnt smoke at all when you get down on it unless there is something else wrong,plus can go close to a million miles with the right maintenace. Thats a huge improvement over a 220 that needed overhauling at about 150,000 miles. Years ago,you could turn a 290 Horsepower Cummins into a 400 horsepower Cummins engine and get way better fuel mileage.The aftercooler helps almost as much as the turbo on fuel consumption.
