Roadtest on a 940 GL 900 1996

Hi to everyone out there. I was wondering if someone can help me out here. The thing is abour a 1996 940 GL, but this model is kind of special because it includes a light compression turbo, though it does not have any turbo gauges or whatsoever. The dealer told me that this model is sold in Europe because in the United States only 940's and 940 turbo's are sold, but not this one, I mean a 940 "light turbo" which is faster than the traditional 940, but slower than the 940 turbo, you see? I've been hours on the internet triyng to find information on the vehicle (additional of course to the info on the owner's mannual) with includes the pros and cons, the roadtests, handling, brakes, skidpad etc... You know, if I contact Volvo, they'll just talk "wonders" about the car, that's why I'm asking you if you know where I can find this kind of info on the net, because I want to know exactly what this car is like or read other opinions on it. If you need some more info, this model is 2.3 Lt, with 4 on-line cylinders. I'd appreciate any comments on this, links to web sites or pages. Thank you guys, and good luck!

Correct, they did away with the turbo guage in '95.

They are all "light pressure" turbos, to my knowledge, for 1995, regardless of US or other market destination. Both my 1995 turbos have no turbo gauges and were advertised as "light pressure."
