After selling my '93 940 Turbo 3 years ago nearly to the exact day, I drove down to Corvallis, OR and bought it back from the seller I sold it to.
In its current state it's at 333k miles with new cap, rotor, plug wires and plugs. It has no blowby but it has a coolant leak and needs a new AC Condenser.

Current modifications are IPD Lowering springs, DO88 intercooler hoses, 17x8 2 piece SSR Alcyber wheels, Evo 8 Intercooler and Euro headlights
I have a list of things I want to upgrade on it with the first being the 16t turbo I bought for it.
Some questions I have to get to this point:
1. With the 16t turbo, I need supporting modifications; I've been searching the turbobricks forums far and wide and from what I understand I need the following:
Am I missing anything? Is the 3 inch maf, upgraded cam, or adjustable cam gear necessary?
2. I was planning on buying a JT Exhaust from Sweden since it's the most plug and play option out there

I don't have any welder friends and no time to learn to do it myself so it seemed like the best option. This seems like a popular exhaust in Sweden, would this be a good exhaust?
3. Currently, my leaking radiator, I found out after some research is a NA 940 rad, not the Turbo one. The turbo one wouldn't fit, since my Evo 8 intercooler is too thick and sits on the bracket where the radiator would normally drop in. As it stands, my AC condenser is punctured but when it wasn't, it blew cold AC. Would it be better just to run without AC by removing the condenser, and push the intercooler back to fit a new stock radiator, or buy a KL Racing intercooler that's meant to integrate with the system and run all 3 in harmony (new rad, KL intercooler, new ac condenser)
KL intercooler in question: https://shop.klracing.se/sv/artiklar/volvo-940-med-ac-60mm-.html
4. This is more tuning specific(?) but do I need the 3in MAF (012) if I'm running a 16t with White injectors and chips + exhaust? Or is that overkill for the power I'll be making?
I think this is all I can think of currently and I appreciate any help with my questions..

- 3 inch exhuast
- correct flange for the downpipe to match the turbo
- re-clocked turbo
- fuel chip
- ignition chip
- White T5 injectors
- 3 inch 012 MAF (?)
- upgraded cam(?)
