The turbocharger housing on my Allis D19 cracked. Probably metal fatigue.
This tractor is nothing special right now, just an old beater I use on a shredder.
Rather than pay several hundred dollars for another turbo, what would the impact be if I simply removed the turbocharger and fabricated a plate to attach the exhaust pipe directly to the exhaust manifold? The way I use the tractor, I really don't need the extra hp from the turbo, I'm just wondering if the engine would run OK in a naturally aspirated configuration, and if there could be any negative effects on the engine.
