Default 240 Turbo conversion

Anyone doing 240 turbo conversions for customers in 2021 (I'm in the North East but would rather travel to the end of the earth for a good job - hell I'd take it to Sweden if necessary)? If so, how much should I budget?

Any special models I should look for when I find the base vehicle? I read the 2 litres are stronger but not sure how the trade off in CC works). I remember getting a quote from a really helpful and friendly guy from Anglesey, but can't recollect his name and don't know if he's still on the scene.
Been about 7 years since I sold my last Volvo to emmigrate.

Now i'm back though and need a 240 in my life.

I'm guessing with prices for whole donor cars rising, a +T might be becoming a more attractive (economical?) option. Would certainly be my preference. Ideally would want something capable of making 250-300bhp for the sake of a bit extra if I'm paying for extra grunt anyway.

Would have a go myself, but no driveway and too many other issues going on at the moment.
