2005 M6800 4WD - turbo conversion?

[GeriatricGinger]

Hi, all. I read this thread (https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/turbo-b7100.6497/) as I was googling the path to take in this venture..
I started out looking for (if) a way to be able to turn up the fuel a little, as similar to a Cummins 12 valve p-pump.
I'm not looking to add a ton of boost, but need a little more umph to run this round baler..
Fab-wise, I have that covered, as I've done plenty of fabbing cars and diesel trucks in the past.

Is there a way to adjust fueling/timing on these M6800 injection pumps to help compensate for boost, should it require it? I have an EGT and boost gauge to closely monitor, once the mod is complete.
TIA

Look at the WSM, it should tell you if it's possible.

I am going to see how mine does with the NH 648 that I'll hopefully grab next week. My preference is no turbo simply because it's several more moving/electronic parts to break (EGT and boost sensors, wastegate actuator, turbo shaft bearings). My 4 big concerns if I did want to do this:
1) fabricating a header to mount the turbo AND fabricating a place which can accommodate the wastegate port and turbine outlet. I assume that simply using stainless plate that is overkill thick (maybe 3/8") and using the turbo as a template should get it, BUT the gasket surface width on the turbo mating surfaces are pretty narrow. I am fine with a 3M Peltor brand "muffler", so not having a real muffler doesn't bug me too much.
2) I am not sure how you tune the fuel and wastegate. That might require a dyno to do correctly, BUT it would be child's play for the tractor pull crowd. You would have to be very clear that white moving to thick black exhaust smoke is undesirable, but to be fair most of those guys are farmers who understand the difference between competition and daily drivers.
3) which turbo? I have found a few Mitsubishi brand turbos that appear to be what Kubota buys to put on the V3300-T/I/E.
4) I am unfamiliar with sealed bearing turbos. It appears that they are common and even last quite a while, but the idea of a turbo bearing with no oil feed is so far outside of my understanding of the world that it scares me. Consider that most automotive turbos now have oil for lubrication AND coolant for cooling. A turbo bearing is just about the most hostile environment that machinery operates in save for a Venus lander or a rocket engine: the demand for lubrication should be absolute. Again, experience seems to say otherwise but I remain suspicious.
