Because it's all about the sound and impressing people. An H hardly needs a turbo unless you're looking for shorter life or to look cool.

Whistle . Sound frequency depends on turbine blade tip speed . Are you just putting around out in the yard or running flat out on a dyno? How did you size the turbo and waste gate ? Draw through or blow through ? Carbureted or fuel injected ?

Don't get discouraged?? these fellers need some help also.

Why, because he has a bushy tail. That is what a mechanic I use to work with would say if someone was a sort of wannabe hot roddrer. Spinning their tires at the stop sign etc., he would say there goes another squirrel. Lol. He had room to talk though he had a 68 Firebird with a pretty stout 400 small block Chevy ran low 11 second quarter mile. Ya, if your turbo is to big it will never spool up good enough to get a good whistle. As others said vane configuration is also key. Good luck to each his own.

Just watched the hit and miss video. Sure enough them guys got it so bad it?s sprouting out of their chins. He he!
I can't help you with the whistle but it's disappointing to see someone get on here asking a question and some feel the need to criticize. It's his H, if he wants to turbo it so what. Give him the info and leave your criticism to yourself. Nobody rides a "high horse" and we all do things others wouldn't do but that doesn't make it wrong for us.

My thoughts exactly. I'd probably try it myself if I had all the components already laying around.

Same here! If he wants to turbo a go cart I say go for it. To many haters on here. Good luck and keep us posted.
Neighbors put a Chevy V8 and the three speed auto in an F-20, keeping the original transmission.
It doesn't have to be practical.
Looking at the subject I too was thinking "why?" But that isn't the right question.
To make the right sounds, you need the right tuning, will depend on a lot of details, the fellas will need more then 'it has a carb."

farmall, there are a lot of variables on turbo installs and tuning. my first guess is the turbo itself is to big for the amount of air volume being pulled into the engine, a diesel engine inhales approximately 10 times the volume of air a gas engine do's, using high compression, high air input volume and high pressure to ignite the fuel, where as a gas engine the cylinders rely on spark to fire off. I would begin with the cu.in. of your h, find a campariable cu. in. high performance engine, size of the turbo, the size of the air duct work in, and the exhaust out. but your still going to be battleing one big thing and that's engine rpm, a gas engine on a tractor spins at 1500 to 2000 rpm at full load, a high performance gas engine in the 3 to 5000. rpm and more, again air volume being moved.

I would think that the old boys that put the six cylinder chevy and ford or what ever they had in their regulars and f20 and F30 caught hell from some farmers as well but did it because either they wanted to or because of a shortage of cash and an engine on hand. Just like so many of us did with cars and trucks. it was for bragging rights and to tear up clutch's, tranny's and twist off axles. It was always a good idea and a great time until you had to walk but it was you walking not the neighbor. Everyone has a right to spend their money and pay the tow truck.

And the correct answer is, Why not? Or, quoting Scott Adams via Dilbert, "because I can."
IF your turbo isn't too big, take it out in road gear and stand on the brakes, give it a load so it will make boost. It ain't gonna have much load that will make any boost just throttling it, boost is where you'll get your best whistle. No load, no boost, less noise. Straight pipe it.

The guys at the local small engine shop had a Toro zero turn without the mower deck on it they used as a tow tug to push dead tractors in and out of their shop. Couple of winters ago, they raided the scrap yard and took a turbo from a SAAB sedan, plumbed it up on that Toro. Last I saw, it was still hooked into the exhaust, but not on the intake side- seems they were having a hard time making the carb play with the boost- it kept blowing the gas back into the fuel line. Sure did whine though...

Centash had a suggestion but I would put a hole in the intake and make some kind of whistle. I had a leak on the intake one time and the air pressure made a whistle. Maybe have a machinist design a whistle if the hole doesn't make enough noise. Maybe you wouldn't loose too much pressure and power. You could put a valve on it so you could have the noise or the power. Let us know how it works out!

One thing I do know you can?t replace the carb on a H with a broken thumb.

Sounds like they failed high school science class if they are trying to use a blow through configuration without boxing the carb and varying the fuel pressure supply.
They should have used a draw through system.

Nobody told them that you have to increase the fuel pressure above the pressure of the turbo boost.

They should have figured that out prior to building the system.

I've always wanted to put a Turbo on my SuperM, I think that would just be too much fun.
Currently saving for a 2 turbo kit for my 2001 Duramax.
