It isn't factory, but I bought it with the swap already done. It came from NYC, and someone had done a *very* slick motor swap, using a late model (the good ones) 93+ B230FT motor. Very cleanly done, looks just as if the factory had done it:
It had a manual boost controller on it, set to about 10 psi. Since I've gotten it, I've replaced the stock Volvo intercooler an Isuzu NPR (box truck) unit, put on some larger injectors (Ford browntops), replaced the Bosch LH 2.4 and EZK ignition computers with a MegaSquirtnSpark computer, and put the boost up to 16 psi. In the very new future (waiting on a custom downpipe) a larger turbo and 3" exhaust will go on, and an IPD turbo cam with an adjustable gear.
The car was a real peach, not sure why someone who invested that much money and effort into a car would trade it in (supposedly ended up being sold on eBay after being traded in at a Volvo dealership). It had 115K miles and looked practically brand new, near perfect paint and a flawless brand new tan leather interior that looks (up close) to be brand new (front and rear).
It already had IPD sway bars front and rear. I put some Bilstein HD's, IPD lowering springs, and some 17X7 wheels with 215/45/17 Goodyear Eagle F1's on it in place of the 14 inch wheels:
Goes like stink with the boost at 16 psi, should be even more fun with the bigger turbo and manual trans. I love it.
