Volvo's ultimate 2 litre tax dodge in Europe was the B204FT turbo'd 16-valve. It could be had in some of the late model 1989-on 700s and early 900s and was mostly sold in the Italian market. I vaguely recall these were 760/960 trim level and badged as such. Getting 184hp out of a 2 litre engine was pretty impressive in avoiding the Euro surtax. Some got mated to an M46 manual trans that would have been fun to drive. B234F 700/900 owners have long sought these engines to add the turbo to their 2.3-litre blocks and push out closer to 200 hp. I'm not sure how many B204FTs were made, but it wasn't a lot. A B234FT was never made by volvo.
