Just how much power do you want out of a 20 year old tratter?

for that price, i'd drop another engine in if you really want it. though i don't see the point, they are what they are.

Try Turbo Centre UK, they will do a recon hybrid turbo on an exchange basis for about £400. A lad I know fitted one to his and was very happy. Unlike a VGT you will still experience turbo lag at lower revs.

You have to be careful what you buy on ebay when it comes to turbos. I would never install a no name turbo in anything...well I once did hence this post.

A friend of mine decided that he would take the risk and had us install a kit on his Civic. lasted two months and then totally disintegrated and gave him a specticular blow up.

I can highly recommend turbocentreuk, they refurbished my 200tdi turbo and were very helpful over the phone too.
