don't forget that turbo motors ,in general, require beefer internals. forged pistons are usually suggested if you want any kind of reliability out of the thing....I do not know how much forged volvo pistons would cost or if they are available, but generally forged slugs are pretty hard shots to the wallet. Not to mention the stronger rods, bearings and bolts/studs. This sounds like an expensive and very time consuming mod, possible but not really a weekend type thing. I would personally suggest finding a turbo motor and doing the swap...even if u have to do a full rebuild/upgrade, at least you know that it will work in the end and not detonate into a smokey mess. there is always te v8 rout to go if you want more power.
