Tuning my Volvo B20! 140-160 1972

I'm looking at having some fun and really tuning up my 145 to make it a lot more fun to drive! It already is great but I wanna make it better :) So I have lots of questions and ideas and I wanna know what you have all done! first things on my mind though... are turb0's and k-jet.
I've heard of putting a turbo on B20 is it possible? I've also seen that since k-jet is on a 240 it can have a turbo, and I'm pretty sure its not too hard to put a k-jet on a B20 therefore... is it all that hard to combine them all? And is it really complicated to get the K-jet system on my b20? is it even worth it? I removed my air filter box... so if i set it up right is it possible to fit a turbo in that big gap there? This is all just speculating and questioning.
Next just wondering what you'll have done to your cars to get them going better?
And finally, if anyone has a 140 series car year 1969-1973 that they wanna sell for a parts car in the Oregon area. I would be VERY interested!! :) I'm looking for a manual, and preferably an e model.
Another question. Which is better? Dual Weber Carb? or D-Jet Fuel Injection?

    Volvo 140s had D-jet through 1973. So yours is most likely a D-jet. It will be amenable to a little tweaking but not much. There are turbo K-jets but I am not sure if they fit a B20, or if you even want to use a B20. But a well-tuned D-jet is no slouch if done right.

    im probably wrong but the first year 240 may have b20 with k jet. or you could megasquirt your d jet.
    you need to get on turbobricks they will have all the answers you need.
