WANTED - cheap Turbo,

Cleaned up the garage, found parts laying around, but it turned out to be a complete Volvo 480? If you want to sell your car (480 only) you can place an advert here.

WANTED - cheap Turbo,

Post by tommysb » Wed Feb 04, 2009 9:37 pm

Hi,

I'm looking for a cheap 1.7 turbo. Looking to do an engine swap into a Volvo 340, so really would prefer something SORN'd. TO that end, it needs to be quite easy to collect, on a trailer, around Norfolk ideally.

Unless anyone has a driveable car for SORN money, but that might be wishful thinking!

Cheers,

Tom

You'd be better getting a 440/460 turbo as a donor. They have the exact same running gear but look shite!
It'd be a shame to butcher a 480 just for the engine :cry:

Don't worry, I'm definitely a lot more willing to use a 440/460 as a donor!
