You can add a turbo to the standard engine by tapping the block etc for the oil feeds/ drain or just pick up a later 940 block and drop that in.
Your right that the turbo will end the strut tower but there are a few people who had modified manifolds to fit. I think the downpipe is also quite fun in order to make fit.
As for engine management, megasquirt is available with the volvos and quite a bit of support exists for it on turbobricks. Thats what I am running and it keeps the car going with 25-30 psi from the turbo.

Got it booked in for an MOT tomorrow! It's obviously going to fail, but I'm hoping that the damage isnt too bad  |

Sierra - here we go again! He has an illness, it's not his fault.

The MOT went suprisingly well! Obviously it failed, but not on much...................
Two small patches of welding, one at the front and one at the rear.
Old exhaust rubber doesn't suport the exhaust.
Windscreen FUBAR.
Front washer jets don't work.
Should be MOT'd by Friday ;D hopefully in time for the meet at Bruces! Fingerscrossed!

No fingers crossed about it, you WILL get the work done, you WILL get it through the MOT and you WILL be there next Sat ;D I've been out today buying food, charcoal, fire lighters & biscuits so your absence will be a fail of epic proportions  |
