I've had a turbo on my 45 for 6-7 years I made my own manifold my system looks like the keystone one.I dynoed it once @ 68 hp it handles 4-16s pretty nice in 3rd gear. It seems to work well but a little cold blooded until it gets warmed up.I painted it this year and wanted to post some pictures but I can't seem to make it work.there is a video on youtube of me plowing with it. ------------- turbocharged |

I've turboed a CA for pulling and for years I had no trouble at all. Last summer I changed to a larger carburetor and at the first outing it ran great, then at the second put I developed lean-out problems that I never overcame.
Turbos are a lot of fun  , although I do know of someone that had turboed a WD and then went to a D17 block and was breaking the main bearing caps all the time.
