	Hi Am new around here, a few of you might recognise the name/car though I have gone from this: To this: The Bit of Trim off the back - need a replacement My dad is now incharge of the estate after his 850 estate broke in style, so i bought this turbo off ebay for £500 Needs the odd thing doing to it, but the bodywork is totally rust free. No dents or bangs. Same can be said for the interior! spotless. Pretty quick too - 182BHP standard

	yeah i thought the 8v non turbos were 130bhp, but i was told that the lpt model like mine only knocks out that much. Even my old 16v had 155bhp! what a con!

	Oooh... already posted about this car on the VOC and Turbobricks... nice one! As far as the bhp figures are concerned, B230ET's put out 182bhp (early non cat 740/760 turbos). 940 2.3 LPT (B230FK) turbos put out a modest 135bhp (but the performance belies that figure), 940 2.3 HPT (B230FT) put out about 165-170bhp). Theres no difference between the LPT and HPT apart from different boost, up the boost on an LPT and you have a HPT.... With a few fairly simple bolt on mods (different turbo, head, cam, big intercooler etc) you'll be up to 250bhp without much trouble... As other discussions on Tbricks/VOC about this car I also say it'll have LH2.4 injection - far better than Bosch Motronic.

I don't have any major reason for selling it but i much prefer my estate. The estate has proven its reliability, and we have been through a lot together already, so I'm keeping it and selling the turbo
