Default 1988 240 dl

I have owned volvo's in the past but just aquired 1 to play with. This is a non turbo car and i would like to make it a turbo car or at least something that much quicker. Like many on a limited budget. What should a turbo cost? Is it possible to do? What are some mods that will work and are less expensive? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks i9n advance. Brandon

Wow Brandon, most will think, where to start? Maybe VolvoSpeed or TurboBricks will yeild you quicker responses. They are more geared to preformance & mods than this forum is, IMO.

Default Faster is not always better

IMO, if you want a turbo car, sell the NA 240 and buy a turbo version. The expense and headaches of "adding a turbo" to that old, tired motor is not worth it. Or buy a sport bike, if you want cheap speed.
