Hi Andres

You could go to your local mustang/US car importer and see if they will import a 242/244/245 volvo turbo from the USA there are many different types of the B21 turbo in the US eg( B21ft/B21et and intercooled and non intercooled) all 200 series volvos in the USA were B21 turbo I think the B23 turbos were in Europe and Sweden. If you wanted to import a car from the USA the best combo would be a B21et intercooled. I don't know which years these were offered in the USA. And then put the top end on your rebuilt turbo spec B23 bottom. Or you could find a mid 80s 760 turbo here in OZ with a B23et and retro fit that engine in your car

PS Remember the OZ dollar is only worth around 50 cents to the US dollar
