[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7415555, member: 718"] MF officially sold the Opico turbo kit for a while and it was even featured in their pocket catalogue in the late 1970's. This was before TB turbo's with their superior, more suitably small turbochargers were ever thought of. I had one of the first TB turbo kits ever, fitted to my 590 4wd in 1980. Thomson and Brake came down personally to show it on my yard and they fitted it all there and then after I agreed. Opico and their dealers had a nice little earner with their ridiculously priced extra oil filter which they claimed needed changing every 100 hours with the oil change. TB used a disposable element that I think was the same part used as a Morris 1000 oil filter and cost pennies. I don't recall what obscure brand of large turbo Opico used but TB used far more responsive British built Holset turbos as used exclusively by Cummins and by many other premium engine manufacturers also.
