Turbo fit, '95 850 2,5 10v non-turbo?

Post by Sommerfeldt »

Okay, I've tried searching here, I've tried Google and a few other places, without luck, so I'm gonna take a chance and post my question here. I hope it's in the right board... :)

I have a Volvo 850, 1995 model 2,5 litre 10 valve non-turbo which I love. Like my sig says; it's blue! I like blue.

Onwards.

I want to fit a turbo on this thing. It can be a low/light pressure one, that's fine.
What I'd like to know is, is it possible? I know that it is on a 20 valve, but does it make a difference that mine is a 10 valve?
Also, I know the basic answer - "Sell the car, buy a T5 or GLT version."
Okay... but I'd still like to know if it's possible, and if it is, does some kind of "How-To" exist?

Thanks, guys!
