I want to put my turbo in the loft but am pretty sure my 1872 joists can't handle the weight. Can anyone recommend a cheap solution to making the floor stronger.

Not a structural engineer or anything, but would they not be oak and pretty strong?
A hardboard floor should help to distribute the weight. But if you know where you want the turbo to go, you could just reinforce that area.
