I believe the total horsepower difference between Turbo and normally
aspirated is 4 (FOUR) Horsepower.
The turbo is there primarily as a way to minimize smoke.

Subject: [MV] M35A2's: turbo or not turbo?
>Dear listers,
>I am looking at a nice M35A2 that a friend has for sale. It has a lot

>This truck is a multifuel with a LD 465-1 engine with no turbo (it has a
