In our 1994 940 owner's manual, Volvo specify the 92C stat for the non-turbo cars, and the 87C only for the turbos. In our 1983 240 manual they specify the 92C for all engines, including the B21 turbo. I use a 92C in all our Volvos. No overheating in California summers, and better cold weather performance. (Two of the cars are in snow country.)

If you are doing a fair bit of city driving in cold weather, I feel that's even more reason to use the 92C unit, as the higher internal engine temperature will evaporate harmful condensation more quickly, and avoid oil dilution and sludge formation. Better heater output, too.
