    I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the pistons and internals are mostly identical on the b230ft/fk? They both have the same 13c turbo but The only real difference is the actuator. One set at 4psi...

    Have you fitted an oil catch can? Could be worth it for you.

    When I fitted a 15G to my b230fk I had very little teething issues as the boost was set not much higher than what a 13c could achieve!...

    Just remember to buy black silicone hoses for the...

    A good way to go like you said;
    15g or even 16t turbo. If your budget can stretch a garret t3 fits well :)

    IIRC there is a demand for the m90 from the V90 for the boys who want to drop a T5 into and older 240/740/940 series car. Could be worth hanging onto for the time being!

    easiest and cheapest option is a b230fk/ft swap, m90 box and a host of upgrades to turbo 18/19t and so on, T5/VXR injectors. This will see you close to 300bhp with reliable and cheap power.

    Without sounding chav-ish, is welding the existing diff an option?

    I wonder why there's so little for the 940 as they can't be all that different from the 240's, or modified easily to fit?
