Not meaning to argue, just for the sake of arguing . BUT, my non Turbo Diesels run just FINE. Why do I want the mindset, to buy something EXTRA, when what I have is not presenting a shortcoming in any way evident to me.
Something I did just think of which may have no bearing on the discussion. It's interesting for me to realize that my two turbo Diesels, my GMC and JD 6200, have atrocious fuel economy! All my non turbo Diesels Sip their fuel sparingly.
Maybe if I ran two similar machines in a business, one turbo, one not, the performance and fuel economy of one over the other may become more apparent. I couldn't even imagine a highway tractor without turbo, makes sense in that application for sure.
