Removing the turbo charger from a turbocharged 740

This thread is Peak Volvo.

Long, long ago, I owned a turbo car and the turbo seized. It was a $500 car and I was poor anyway, so I evaluated the situation, did nothing about it, and just drove a car that I'd estimate without hyperbole at around forty to sixty horsepower until I parked it behind my friend's house and we all threw cinderblocks at it. The turbo was a significant impediment in the exhaust flow, but the manifold had enough cracks that I wasn't too worried. This was without question my automotive rock-bottom, and I relay this so you understand I have some experience with unturbocharging a car.

Doing what you suggest is like punching yourself in the face until you have black eyes, because the result is different from having a normal face that doesn't hurt, and for science. There is nothing of value to be gained or learned. You will only make something worse.
 
I'll trade you a n.a. 240 you'll need a down pipe and manifold n.a.computers you could just remove turbo and block the oil and coolant lines and be done
 
I remember when I locked the waste gate open on my 88 765 with 90+ manifold and TD04-13c when the turbo went out. It was a lot slower getting up to speed and the exhaust was obnoxiously loud. Turning the boost down is a better option than removing the turbo.
 
I just installed a new turbo and have the wastegate puck just flapping open in the breeze. The car can barely make it up a steep hill.

I grew up in New Jersey, and nothing there is bad enough to make you take a turbo off a turbo car.

YES THERE IS, SEE ABOVE.
 
Jersey shore doesn't represent New Jersey. Just like Valley Girls don't represent all of California. Both are a small slce of shallow consumerism lifestyle brand living. See life style brand thread.
 
I want to put a 6.0 in my 240 but then run it like a v6..even tho I have a 4.3 I could use... Then compound turbo it with saab turbos with them blocked off to make it n.a. You think blowing two saab turbos into a 1.39 a.r. t6 flange Detroit diesel turbo with no guts in any of them would work? Would this setup work in my plow truck if I just throw it in the box? I also have a buick park avenue with a blower, should I pull the belt off? For science...chickens like yogurt but I hate it, yet I like eggs, should I turbo or n.a.a chicken? Do chickens spool? Thanks
