Nice video, but you seriously misunderstood what the owner was telling you about this aircraft. It's not turbocharged... turbochargers are only used on piston engines. This is a Turbine Air Tractor; 750 shaft horsepower turboprop. A turboprop engine is basically a jet engine, in this case a Pratt and Whitney PT-6, coupled to a gearbox that drives a propeller. Major difference between that and a turbocharger. I flew ag for four years and have about 900 hours in one identical to this.
I live in Delta and see this guy all the time. He's one awesome pilot!
