240 turbos are fairly common, but not as much as they use to be 5-10 years ago :( My friend just bought an 83 group a (only year turbo flathood in US). Supposedly there were only 500 total. Sometimes they pop up in groups, sometimes nothing for months. There's a few on turbobricks.com right now. Check out craigslist.org in SF Bay Area if you're interested in trying to import one to Sverige.
Probably easier than Sweden. You can buy a 244 in good shape for 1-3k USD. 242s usually a little more. 245s are beginning to go up in value. No rust in California :)
The PRV is a pile of crap. There's one guy in the US that runs a turbo PRV in a 242 for rally racing. But yea, B230FT is great. Really wish they came with an M90 here.
They are "somewhat" common in California. Probably more so than Sweden. And yes, they came with b230ft as well as the PRV motor. 1991 was B230ft only :) Someone told me that Sweden only received the PRV model :(
We have a few websites :) www.turbobricks.com and www.brickspeed.net (not many users on that one). Some day I plan on visiting Sweden and bringing a very large box for parts :-P
In the US all years had reflectors except 82 or 83 DL. They are somewhat rare and desirable here..I think that's why I like these more. The reflectors do look good though :)
No M90s in the use. People usually import them from the UK or Europe. The swap costs from 1000-2000USD depending on what comes with the swap. Shipping is what kills you.
Most non-volvo enthusiasts don't know what it is since I have most of the badges removed. The volvo enthusiasts here love their volvos a lot. Check out turbobricks.com for the majority of the American community for RWD turbo volvos. There's a few Canadian, Central America and Europeans on there too!
