940-FK mods

[edifice]

Hi guys

It's 1997 Volvo 940 , B230-FK, 135ps. low pressure turbo. Aisin 4 speed. factory turbo is 13C

1) If to gain some power, im interested with 16T. could i use angle flange 16T from S60-T5 2.3 (250bhp version)  ?

to fit 16T angle flange to 940 manifold, is it compulsory to re-clock the housing? actually im poor knowledge regarding re-clocking turbo. Is it possible not to re-clock, and make new turbo downpipe for the 16T ?

im targeting 180bhp - 200 bhp (i think 0.8 - 1 bar boost)

2) in case i couldn't find 16T, can i hybrid the 13C...using 13C hot side and 15G cold side ? or 16T cold side if it can be done....?

3) For original spec 940 FT intercooler, what maximum power and boost it can handle safely ? If possible want to maintain using factory standard intercooler .

4) I can't afford Do88 intercooler due to tax and currency. too pricey. If using china FMIC, could longer intercooler piping cause noticable lag ?

Or another way, could i put a Mitsubishi Evo 3 size FMIC 2.5" thick and 11.5" tall at the original intercooler position (like Do88 intercooler position )

Thank you
