Engine swap: non-turbo to low pressure turbo..?
My daily driver is an '06 V70 with great body and recently refreshed suspension with the normally aspirated engine (non turbo).
There is a (kind of..) local guy, in the LA area that specializes on Volvos and sometimes he has pretty good and reasonable low mileage Volvos that he buys wrecked and sells the parts
The question is how easy would be to swap the high mileage non-turbo engine for a lower mileage 'low pressure turbo' (also 5 cylinder)? I know that I will need the turbo engine, exhaust, intercooler, and the ECU, perhaps something else? Hopefully someone in this forum could share some light, thank you in advance.
