How hard is it to install a Volvo turbocharger?

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012
asked:


I am no mechanic, but I am a fast learner and pretty handy when it comes to mechanical issues in cars and trucks. A trait somewhat forced on me by my first truck (’93 Ford Bronco). I now have a 1996 Volvo 850 base no turbo. Simply put is installing a turbocharger something i could do with a weekend and another set of useful hands?

How much is a 1993 volvo 240 classic worth?

Monday, May 14th, 2012
asked:


We have a 1993 volvo 240 classic that runs great. It probably has 200,000 or more miles on it and the paint on the roof is peeling, but the interior is in good condition. How much do you think it would be worth?

How can I do donuts in a fwd Volvo wagon?

Saturday, May 5th, 2012
asked:


I’ve trying to do donuts in a Volvo V70 wagon but the engine just started shaking when I held the brake and the gas down. Am I doing something wrong or is it just an underpowered car? What can I do because it sounds like it would be fun to pull that off in my school parking lot sometime.
I have little to no knowledge about doing donuts, but I was just curious about how, if possible, I could do this.
