13psi isn't too much for an automatic...something else is going on. 700

I have studied the possibility of an AW72 conversion. It appears to be a good trans, as strong or stronger than the AW71, with a good converter and good torque multiplication. It is a lockup, which may not be as durable or smooth with a turbo. Worth considering further. I don't know how soft Volvo set the valve body; it could be that you would need valve body modifications. If I got one cheap and needed a trans, I would give it a try.
