Why do you want to replace the turbo? more power? depending on what your doing with it , you can use some more power , but too much more and things start to twist and break ,and warranty goes bye bye.

The dealerships i work at always turned the pump up some , never worried about a turbo , but i imagine it can be done. but don't say i didn't warn you , stuff can go snap crackle pop and bang...

The drivetrain on most tractors is designed around the engine and its output power. If you start pushin more power then you run a risk of blowin the drivetrain.

what phase tractor is it in the series,for example tractors or usualyy built in series like jd 8100,8200,8300,8400. know the 8100 has like 165 hp and the 8400 has like 225 hp however the engine and turbo are essentially the same and the lower hp tractor can be easly turned up to match the power of the bigger line tractors.also i am guessing by the McCormick name that the tractor is new,these newer tractors often time dont even make there best power ubtil the get loaded down,for example my case mx230 is a pure dog until it bogs down 300-400 rpms then it is a pulling beast.when i first got the tractor i told the dealer i wasnt happy and he had a tech guy call and he told me the newer tractors were designed to be run like this.believe it or not i even get better fuel consumtion. also as a side note i only run my warranty tractors like this
