So my mom's finally found a Volvo...

[Graeme Shaw]

And it's an old 740 Turbo Intercooler.  Anyone have any idea what turbo's on there?  We won't have posession until at least monday, and really, I'm just curious.  If anyone's got any ideas, let me know

Two turbo cars in the family.  Booyah.

the earlier ones use a Garret TB03 and the later ones use a Mitsu.  Not sure exactly which ones.

www.Turbobricks.com will be a great starting point for you.

BTW the 2dr silver one on the first page is just like the one I used to have.  Great car, just too rusty to save...

Sweet, thanks John.  I was looking at the stats for the new brick she just bought...162 HP, yeah, that's okay.  195 ft-lbs!!!!!  Sweeeeeeeeet.

Massive downside?  8 valves.  Holy old school batman.  I think I'll have to see if there's anythign Lowell can do with this old behemoth to make it something I'm not ashamed to drive...as soon as I can convince my mom it'd be a good investment  Too bad it's a slushbox.

hey, like I said look at TurboBricks and get in there community.  There is also a Volvo club of BC.

You can do lots.  Just the same sorta stuff we do.  More boost, better pipes, fuel mods, and of course big exhaust.

None of it goes as far, and it will max at about 270 or so hp unless you go for bigger turbo and intercooler and big fuel mods, but its fun.

And the engines are bulletproof.

And it seems as though unlike with the 4G63 they get better with age!
