Scan turbo in denmark used to make kit for these tractors.
Orginal parts is available so there is no problem to fit a turbo on your tractor using orginal parts., I did it on my 8145 one year ago.
This year i think i will do it on my 12145.

so you put a turbo on your 8145? how easy was it to do?

Just change the orginal exhaust and air intake manifoilds, by those who are for turbo. You have to drill a hole at the bottom of the block for retur-oil.
I also changed the radiator,beqause the air pipe go on the left side on turbo-models.
I also replaced the orginal 1,2mm head gasket by 1,5mm, but i am not sure that was necessary.

There are gel type turbo gaskets. 1.2 and 1.5mm have to do with piston height, if you want to do a very precise job of getting the compression ratio and valve to piston clearance to spec.
I allways use 1.2mm gaskets.
