I have a 1994 940 turbo wagon with 195K+ miles. I would like to keep this car up and have it running reliably. The turbo unit is OK at the present time. However, I understand that when turbo unit does need service it can take some time and may need to be shipped for machine shop attention.

I am curious to know:
1) Could the turbo unit could be removed leaving in a drivable and safe condition?
2) If so, is it easy, what's involved and is there a documented procedure for this?

[My searches so far have turned up multiple reports of conversion from non-turbo to turbo mode, but nothing on conversion from turbo to non-turbo]

Thanks,


Rob
