Hi everyone,
I am a total newb with Volvos and I am looking at buying 1988 740 Turbo with 256k miles. At 256k, it looks like it has been taken extremely good care of.
What should I look out for?
Other than the turbo, what will be the first engine component to blow?
How big is the stock turbo (in comparison to another to turbo such as t3/t4)?
How much boost do these cars run stock?
What is their boost limits?
What engines can be swapped into this car?
Would another turbo 740 engine be difficult to find or expensive?
Thanks,
Alex
