Default what turbo is in the Wentworth? ?

Just bought a 2L Wentworth . Just wondering if they only come with the B200 or do they come with the B230. Also are they lpt or hpt. And what psi boost is standard on these? And can it be increased a tad?
I've noticed that reverse is under 5th gear on this box whereas on my B230 940 its up and to the left of 1st. I'd have thought the boxes would have been the same for these rwd's.
Regards

wentworth = 2l not 2.3

there are 2 gboxes for all volvos not just wentworths


around 95 they upgraded them to the five to the right model (as per the 850's IIRC)

BTW - you posted this in the sales section by mistake

The 2.0L Wentworth is a B200 I believe, with 155bhp. Should have a 13c, which is easily moddable.
With regards to the gearbox, reverse under 5th makes it an M90 (like mine, and the ones found in early 850s). If it is up to the left of 1st, it will be an M47 Gearbox. M90s were fitted to turbo cars as standard from 1995.
The M90 is a far superior unit.

Cheers
Jonny
