Hello gents,
I'm a noob from Slovakia (EU) and I've had my 89 740 for 3 years so far. It's B230F and now I got '90 FT engine with with all the electric stuff around for swap.
I am looking for some advice / guide from you nice people who got the knowledge. I would like to upgrade some parts that would get me a little further with the power. I was trying to get some help from KL-racing.se, but the communication with them is a little bit difficult.
So everything is stock, my car was set to stage 0 now - changed all the bushings (many poly), shocks, brakes, IPD swaybars, springs, tires, fluids etc.
1. Now I need to upgrade the engine. If I'm gonna use the stock turbo, then it has to be rebuilt (~300eur). Should I do it or forget about it and find a 19T (or something else)? If yes, what else do I need?
2. I would like to upgrade injectors for modern ones like EV6 or EV14 for better spray pattern and smoother idle. Would those be fine or am I totally wrong?

3. Intercooler - https://shop.klracing.se/sv/artiklar/volvo-940-utan-ac-60mm.html
4. Cam - they said maybe the T2 https://shop.klracing.se/sv/artiklar/volvo-8v-turbo-kamaxel-klr-t2-2.html
I have the VX cam brand new from IPD - intentionally for the N/A engine, but never used it. Is it useless for this use?

6. Exhaust will be custom made
7. Maybe a wideband sond https://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/mtxl_plus.php

So my questions are - what do you think about those upgrades? What am I missing? What else should I buy? I would be really grateful for a thorough explanation.
I know that I can get pretty much 180hp with manual boost control, but I want more. Still need to be able to daily drive it, I really don't need all the power in the highest RPM range.
I just want a little bit more power, it's not for drifting or racing.
Need it to be reliable. Using 98/99/100 octane fuel, because our regular 95oct is E10 ffs.
Thank you so much for your time.
