I had a Volvo turbo

You're right that the turbo is a PITA. And will blow. Plan on it. (It is no fun to realize that you can't see the road behind you because of smoke from your car.)

Other than that, parts might have cost a lot but it didn't need many.

My experience was with the 240 series though. I have no experience with later models.

Cheers,
Ben
