Welcome to the forum.
You need a lot more help than we can give you, if you don't even know what to do with the carbs... do you know the difference between a 'huffer' and a 'puffer' and do you know which yours is? If not, then it might be good for you to do a google search on turbo basics and read some technical info about them - the types, installation techniques and tuning - which, yes, can be tricky. I did this when I bought a turbo VW powered sand rail, just so I would understand what it was I had and how to keep it running well... it was a good education. Google rules!
Also, there are several posts here in the forum about turbo 660's. I suggest you use the 'search' function to find them, read them, and perhaps contact the posters about any additional information they might be able to provide.
With luck, some of the turbo guys might see this post and respond.

Idealy you need to build a box around the carbs. If you just pressurize the throat of the carb it won't pull fuel up through the main jet verry well if at all. The pressure will blow fuel back out of the over flow and vent hoses.
FCR carbs would be manditory. I don't think the stock vaccuum slide carbs would function properly.

Mr. Turbo used to have a turbo kit using some Keihin carbs, they weren't FCR's but I don't recall which type they were.
They're still in business doing road bikes, a google search should turn up the website then I'd ask them for more information. There were not many takers on the 660 turbo front, and the more popular kit was the KMS with aftermarket fuel injection so I'm not sure how easy it will be to find someone to help with this project.

With a huffer, you can use stock carbs, unchanged except for jetting... drawback is significant turbo lag. Puffers require boxing and pressure equalizing all carb ports - less lag, but a PITA to get all together, and more of a PITA to tune.

A few years ago I bought a turbo with the intentions of installing it on my Raptor, I instead installed it on my John Deere garden tractor, it has a Yanmar 3 cylinder, 16 hp, diesel engine, it now has the same engine but has 25 hp and runs much more efficiently..........

I bet it does run more efficiently Willy
.what, you're in a hurry to mow your lawn? lol
a 3cyl turboed sounds like quite a garden tractor. i know of quite a few farm tractors that are 4cyl NA..

A pilot tube won't suffice - these carbs are vacuum slide type - it requires a box around the entire carb (both), to raise everything to boost pressure; and a fuel pump (boost variable) to force fuel in at above boost pressure, or a sealed fuel tank/cap with a boost tube to pressurize it to boost pressure... Puffers (turbine between air cleaner and carb, pushing air thru carb) get very complex.
Huffers (turbine between carbs and head, pulling air thru carb) are way easier, carbs can be nearly stock as can the fuel supply... but they add some lag due to the long path from carb to intake ports, and not as much boost can be achieved.

I assumed so from your pilot tube statement.
