MX4700 turbo upgrade to a 5100

[wildcatblue]

Just curious but has anybody done this to a MX4700 or woundered how much it would cost to install a turbo and other nessasary items to maker it a 5100, I like tinkering around with this sort of stuff but am thinking of buying the needed parts like intake and exhaust manifolds and of course the turbo and related oil supply and return lines, think it's more than 1200.00 bucks?? is that the only difference between these two machines?

You would also have to tune the injection system, maybe modify the pump. It's not that easy to get it right, and if you don't you can end up with a hole in the wrong part and spending a lot more than $1200...

the turbo will only give you about 5 hp you could go more but the add wear on parts is not worth it and gallons per hour would take a hit big time i had an l3800 that wasnt big enough so i swaped it in on an 7040su that was a big differents
