Hello

I'm considering turboing my 940 GL the engine is a B230FB 9.3:1 comp with 155.000 miles (250.000km) on, but still in great shape with no oil consumption, runs great. I don't mind lowering the compression by making the combustion chambers bigger, But i really don't feel like overhauling the engine, mainly because it's in such good condition. I know there are komplete kits awailable but they are quite expensive. Can i source alle the parts from a B230FT, B230ET or other vovlo red block turbo engines? I'm looking for atleast 200hp. Is anyone familiar with GIK turbo's? They have two different kits awailable one is bolt on and expensive the other you have to fabricate tubing and is much cheaper.

Thanks for any advice
