I left North carolina at 9 pm last friday and arived in NJ at 10 am the next morning(Amtrak) to follow up my life dream of owning a turbo Volvo. My 85 760 turbo awaited in my parents driveway. I drove the car down to the gas station about 400 yards away, filled her up then turned out and drove about another 300 yards and poof, now there is a 2 X 2 inch hole through the engine block. I didn't even get to push the gas hard in it. There was less than 2 miles put on the car from the date of puchace(that is including the drive home). My dream is dead, no turbo for me. I am now in seach of a turbo engine, or a car that was hit in the back that I can take a turbo engine from. If someone wants to make some money I may need someone in the NJ area to install it also. Please let me know if you have any info that can help me. Dream turbo volvo must live on......
thank you
