You may get answers on here but you will find a lot of relevent information here: http://volvo480.dragons.org.uk/forum/index.php
A good site for 480's only.

same engine - B20F,
subtle styling difference, ie a front scoop,
aircon i think,
more extra's as standard, therefore heavier,
potentially slower than a non GT 2L because of that?
no significant mods availiable for the 2L
Turbo version infinitely tuneable tho

just readin your post bout the 2.0 B20f engine, you mentioned the turbo version is highly tunable, didnt know there was a turbo`d version of the B20f engine, what car was that in, was it a limited edition, ive been trying to find a decent engine to replace my B20f but if theres a turbo`d version of it id really like to find out where, would i just have to change my ecu, fit the turbo, rad, intercooler and downpipe etc or........................ any news would be gratefully recieved as im just about to spend shedloads on her

There is a model called the 480 GT. It's a 2.0i edition. Only Non-turbo editions here in the UK, but there were a handful of GT Turbos made in Sweden, or Denmark...somewhere like that anyway...

So a B20f Turbo is possible. I don't know much, but it would involve a bigger clutch, a Turbo + intercooler, better injectors aswell as the ECU from a Turbo. Gearbox, driveshafts...anything i've missed?

I know one or two 480 2.0 owners that have made the conversion but it's not a job for the faint hearted or skint!

and decompression of the engine....
