I just did a search of 240 turbo's and obviousely American ones came up. Nonetheless interesting reading .
First Volvo turbo launched by Volvo in 1983 last produced 1986.
The 240GLT Turbo was a 2,127cc engine,
Fitted with a GARRETT Airsearch BT03 Turbo
Compression ratio 7.5:1, Original comp was 9.3:1.
Max Power 127bhp at 5400rpm.
Max Torque 150lb.ft at 3.750rpm.
4 speed manual with overdrive.First gear was lowered and a higher final drive.
0 to 60mph in 8.9seconds,Max speed 107mph.
It was fitted with Sodium filled exhaust valve stems and stellate valve seats.
Uprated front dampers gas filled,rear antiroll bar thicker front antiroll bar.Uprated rear dampers.
Original price new $15.470.


And then I found some info on the Group A 1985 Saloon.
B21ET engine.2.141cc.
GARRETT Airsearch 13 with intercooler.
Bosch Fuel Injection.
Water injection system.
320bhp (250kw) at 6.600rpm.
Max Torque 400nm at 4.000-6000rpm.Considerably less than the 1984 to save fuel.

Bilstein gas filled front dampers.
