Hey mike,

I have a 90-240 w/o turbo. One of the reasons I own volvo is its simplicity. I wouldnt compromise that by buying one with a turbo. Just my personal pref. It makes it harder to work on(its in the way), more costly to fix. I dont need complications.



Besides, since Ive learned how to drive the darn thing, I find there is quite enough power.

Turn of the o.d. when you need extra power. Third gear will take you nicely up around 80mph. Probably more. It is a strong motor. If you need to go even faster. Install a tach and max out your rpms. The motor will take it. If its a automatic, drive it like a stick. From what I understand the gearation is set for the "average motorist". You dont have stick to that plan. (no pun intended}

We dont need no stinkin turbo!

Im sure it all comes down to personal choice. Thats just my two cents worth.

Good luck, hope you find a good one. Turbo, or non.
