Turbo Addition 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be David on  Fri Jan 4 04:44 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have been debating adding a turbo onto my normally aspirated 850. I am hoping someone can help to shed some light on what components will need to be changed to add on a turbo. I know in 1997 and still today Volvo offered a light pressure turbo in some models. That turbo came equipped with a 2.4 litre engine. I know they also offered the 2.3 litre high pressure turbo. Would it be a poor idea to try to add on a high pressure turbo to the 2.4 litre engine? I figured that the engine in my car and the light pressure turbo one are very similar. Saying that, I was hoping that someone could give a possible list of pieces that would need to be changed to add on a turbo. As well, I know the ECU would need to be changed, should that just be purchased from IPD?? Thanks for any help.
David
