Default new to volvo cars

Hello. I just bought a well used 1998 v70 xc wagon to fix up. Its got 214k miles, and everything seems to work except for the turbocharger. Has some minor cosmetic issues outside,, but for 900 bucks,, I am not going to complain.

Question: Should I buy a used stock turbo,, or a new upgrade? Almost same price on ebay for either. However, I do not know what upgrade turbos will bolt on with no mods or adapters.

I just recently took a ride in an s60R, and I want my old v70 xc to be fast like that! Well, I just want it to run,, and run faster than stock if possible...

Welcome to the forum. I'd go with a used Turbo.
