940 - To turbo or not?

I like the turbo, but 1 word of warning. The cooling systems are a weak point, and are yery unforgiving. If you blow a hose or more commonly a heater control valve, you literally have about 30 seconds to shut down before engine damage occurs. If you go turbo, REPLACE the cooling system unless you can verify the radiator and hoses have been recently replaced. Specifically, radiator, all hoses, heater valve, expansion tank and cap, and t/stat. Also make sure the electric fan works. Suggest a 3 row metal radiator.
