Has anyone else seen 1995 940 turbo base model?

I've seen a rare few 240 Turbos like this, they were intended to be sold as police cruisers. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if a few 700/900 series turbos of this nature were sold, though the lack of a boost gauge does surprise me.. For that matter I didn't think you could get a 940 without leather and a sunroof, I've never seen one of those either.

Never seen one, but it could have been made for another market. You might check to see if the engine serial goes with the body serial number.

Does anyone know when Volvo stopped using a boost gauge in turbo models?

I got the VIN and it confirms that the car was built with a B230FT.

Weird...

Yeah it sounds like it was one of the ones intended for the police cruiser market. Volvo police cars are not common in the US, but I do see them from time to time, and in parts of Europe they're everywhere. They usually have base trim with turbo motors.

In the UK (and EU I believe) this represents a lower pressure Turbo.

Driving the LPT is quite good, although the max power is a little lower, it has better torque (higher piston compression ratio) and the MPG is

I drove the LPT for a while while sorting a stalling problem and took it on a 1 hr drive to a job interview, the place was quite far into the country and the roads were good with lots of overtaking opportunities, I can say it was much easier to overtake compare to the SE as the power was instantly there. Turbo lag is not bad on the SE, but compared to a real high torque car like an older 360 GLE its definately not instant, even at 2500rpm.
