743 were never turbo charged. 743 already proves to have too much power for themselves. Compared to the gas powered 742, 743 break cylinders and boom arms way more often.

Question is, why do you think you need a turbo? If it seems down on power, maybe you have mechanical issues(engine/hydros)?

Not sure I would add a turbo to that engine, it was never factory, unlike the later V2203 that had a turbo option I believe. I actually wanted to add one to my V2203DI
I'd be concerned that the addition of a turbo could break the V1702.

If you need turbo power, it is best to get a larger machine that handle the added torque of a larger / stronger engine. If you start breaking structural / hydraulic system parts, the repairs could cost you a ton. I like the 751's, or larger. They are actually the smallest machine I would consider owning. Even the Kubota engines in them are not turbo-charged.
