Does anyone know if it is possible to change from the naturally aspirated V2403 engine in my 2015 MX4800 to adding a turbo, etc to make it a MX5800?

Not very easily as you would have to reprogram the computer that controls fuel. :(
So No, adding a turbo will not make it match a larger tractor models HP output.

Not to mention the internal differences turbo engines usually have: oil cooled pistons, stronger pistons & rods, nitrated cranks, plus...... The computer really limits you. If the computer doesn't know it has a turbo, it will never fuel it. Fairly easy for a low boost turbo addition on a older mechanical engine. High boost OEM HP matching on either engine usually require the internal mods. Jeff
