Darin: Perkins used and still uses turbos on lots of their tractor engines, but not on anything as old as a 270. That was the old L4 engine developed just after WW2 and as far as I know I think it grew into the 300 that was in the Super 90 and the 92 combine. None of them were turbo'ed. Perkins also had the 318 engine but I don't think it was related. If you are going to do it, make your engine is in great shape and even then it might not be able to handle much for a boost pressure. Rad size and oil flow VERY critical. Good Luck. The M&W turbos burnt a lot of engines. Tom
