I think I'm one of the higher mileage current 240D drivers, 330 miles this
week, can anybody top that?
Anyway I think you'll find this list is big on keeping stuff stock or mostly
stock. I'm in that list mostly because I don't think I've got the mechanical
ability to get into serious modification.
To see more folks that are into hot-rodding (snicker, the thought that turning
a 72hp engine to 95hp is "hot rodding" is laughable) check out the forums on
Peach Parts.

This reaction amazes me in contrast! I'm also in another online
community- Turbobricks- where adding an enormous turbo to an NA Volvo
is considered a normal reliable daily driver.
I personally think you could run tons of boost daily through an
otherwise stock 240D and it would last LONGER than an NA one, and the
drivetrain would never notice the difference. You could even run A LOT
OF BOOST and it would last forever if you watched the EGTs. If the
turbo conversion looks professional, buy it, drive it, and enjoy it.
just my opinion...
