The thermostat temperatures are probably 87, 92, and something less than 87 degrees Celius. 87 is what I would call the "standard" temperature, 92 is good for colder climates as the engine will run that little bit hotter. For a Turbo I would use the 87deg one.

The ECT sensor is nothing special. I understand the desire to get Volvo or the OEM manufacturer, but it's a pretty standard item. I used whatever Foreign Car Parts was selling a few years back, no troubles so far.

Notes on thermostat/ECT replacement: Pay close attention to the orientation of the thermostat when you take the old out. It's pretty straightforward, but good to be sure. Budget some time to scrape the corrosion off of the housing an mating surfaces. A razor blade scraper and or utility knife come in handy here. I use antiseize on the ECT and thermostat housing bolt threads.
