Which gearbox is the weak one? If there would be a m47 will it be fine?

So you're saying the 2.0 Turbo?

Yep, he's referring to the EU bound 2.0 Turbo.

940 2.3 Turbo (preferably saloon!) (LPT or HPT guise - doesn't matter if you're upping the boost) with an M90 for good measure.

~200bhp on the standard turbo/intercooler/injectors at 13.5psi.
Mine was utter ridiculousness in the wet on its standard 195/65r15s at that sort of boost.

If you're in Poland, a quick jaunt across Germany and into Denmark/Sweden will yield LOTS more of potential motors

Cheers

Classicswede is referring to the 2.0 16V turbo engines, although after talking to a gentleman in Italy who owns an early 960 2.0 16V turbo I wouldn't go near one as they sound like they are made of chocolate!

So what is the difference between the 740 and the 940.
Visually I can see some slight differences but they have the same engines and wheelbase.
What's different in their drivetrains?
